Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices day-old bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 2 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Slice the bread and roughly chop the smoked turkey bacon and scallions. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add black pepper, salt, apple cider vinegar (natural), and the natural gelling agent, then whisk everything together until combined and slightly frothy.
- Build the Toast Base: Brush each slice of bread lightly with olive oil to help the toast crisp beautifully and achieve a golden color in the air fryer.
- Layer Cheese and Bacon: Sprinkle a generous amount of plant-based cheese on each bread slice, followed by the chopped smoked turkey bacon and scallions, creating rich layers of flavor and texture.
- Add the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture over each prepared slice, allowing the liquid to soak slightly into the bread and coat the toppings. The natural gelling agent will help the eggs set perfectly while cooking.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Place the slices in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 7 to 10 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the edges of the toast are crisp and golden.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the Air Fryer Cheesy Egg Toast from the basket, let it cool for a minute, then serve whole or sliced. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose slightly stale bread for better egg mixture absorption and crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Whisk eggs well to incorporate air and create fluffy, tender eggs.
- Layer cheese directly on the bread first to help bind ingredients as it melts.
- Adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley at the end enhances aroma and freshness.
