🍳 How To Make Air Fryer Egg Toast

Prepare the Bread: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Press down the center of the bread with a spoon to make a small well.
Add the Egg: Crack one egg into each well. Season with salt and pepper.
Air Fry: Place the slices in the air fryer basket. Cook at 370°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk.
Add Toppings (Optional): Sprinkle cheese or herbs in the last minute of cooking for a melty finish.
Serve Hot: Remove carefully and enjoy immediately!
