Air Fryer Egg Ham and Cheese Toast Recipe:

🍞 Air Fryer Egg, Ham, and Cheese Toast

✅ Ingredients (Makes 2 servings)

• 2 slices of bread (thick cut or regular sandwich bread)

• 2 eggs

• 2 slices of ham (or deli meat of your choice)

• Optional toppings: chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, hot sauce

---

🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the Air Fryer

   • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3–5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Bread

   • Lightly press down the center of each slice of bread with the back of a spoon to create a shallow “well” for the egg.

   • (Optional) Spread a thin layer of butter or mayo on the outer edges of the bread for extra flavor.

3. Add Ham and Cheese

   • Place a slice of ham inside the well.

   • Add a slice of cheese on top or slightly to the side, leaving space for the egg.

4. Crack the Egg

   • Carefully crack one egg into the well of each toast. If the bread is too flat, you can beat the egg slightly before pouring it in to prevent overflow.

5. Season

   • Sprinkle salt, pepper, and any optional toppings.

6. Air Fry

   • Carefully place the toasts into the air fryer basket.

   • Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6–9 minutes, depending on how runny or set you want the egg.

     • ⏱ 6 mins: soft/runny yolk

     • ⏱ 8-9 mins: fully set yolk

7. Serve

   • Remove with a spatula, let cool slightly, and serve warm!

❓Q&A Section

❓Can I use different types of bread?

Yes! Sourdough, brioche, or whole wheat all work. Thick bread holds the egg better.

---

❓What if the egg spills off the toast?

Use slightly thicker bread and press a deeper well into the slice. You can also lightly toast the bread before assembling for more structure.

---

❓Can I make it without ham?

Absolutely. Substitute with turkey, bacon, or make it vegetarian with spinach, tomato, or avocado.

---

❓Can I store and reheat leftovers?

This recipe is best fresh, but you can refrigerate it for up to 1 day. Reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes at 320°F to maintain crispiness.

---

❓Can I make this with scrambled eggs?

Yes. Lightly scramble the eggs and pour into the bread well. It cooks faster—about 5–6 minutes at 350°F.

---

❓Can I add extra ingredients?

Yes—try diced onions, bell peppers, or cooked mushrooms before cracking the egg. Don’t overload or it won’t cook evenly.
