Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter or cooking spray
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley, chives, or grated cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Bread: Use a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut a hole in the center of each bread slice. Save the cut-out circles to toast alongside, if desired.
- Butter the Bread: Lightly butter one side of the bread slices or spray with cooking spray.
- Place in Air Fryer: Arrange the bread slices (buttered side down) in the air fryer basket. Crack an egg into each hole.
- Season and Cook: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs. Air fry for 5-7 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like the yolk. Add the bread cut-outs in the last 2 minutes to toast them.
- Serve: Carefully remove the Egg-in-a-Hole from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh herbs or grated cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
