🍳🍞 Air Fryer Egg Toast Cups
Crispy toast “cups” filled with baked eggs—quick, customizable, and perfect for breakfast or meal prep.
🛒 Ingredients:
- 4 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
- 4 eggs
- 2–3 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for softer eggs)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
🧀 Optional add-ins:
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- Chopped spinach
- Diced tomatoes
- Cooked bacon or ham
- Green onions or herbs
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare bread cups
Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin.
Press into a greased muffin tray or silicone muffin cups to form a “cup.”
2. Add fillings
Sprinkle cheese or toppings into each bread cup.
3. Crack eggs
Carefully crack one egg into each cup.
Add a splash of milk if you want softer baked eggs.
Season with salt and pepper.
4. Air fry
Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Cook for 8–12 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk:
- 8–9 min → soft yolk
- 10–12 min → fully set yolk
5. Cool slightly
Let rest 1–2 minutes before removing (they firm up as they cool).
