Ingredients Needed

• Large Eggs: For a creamy, runny center in toast
• Bread: Preferably thick-cut, for crispy, golden edges.
• Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, and any other seasonings for extra flavor.
• Cooking spray or Parchment paper: For non-stick cooking and crispiness.

Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Bread Substitution: You can swap out regular bread for gluten-free bread, bagel, sourdough, or even whole wheat for a different flavor profile or dietary preference. For a low-carb option, use keto bread or a thick slice of zucchini.
• Seasoning Variations: Experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or Italian seasoning to customize the flavor. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or chives can add a fresh twist. For some spice, add some red pepper flakes on top.
• Egg Variations: Instead of a traditional egg, you can use a scrambled egg or egg whites for a lighter breakfast option.

How To Make Air Fryer Egg In Hole

Step One: Spray your air fryer-safe pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place a bread slice into the air fryer basket.

Step Two: Use a cup or cookie cutter to make a hole in the center of the bread, then carefully remove the cut-out piece.

Step Three: Crack an egg into the hole in the bread. Set the air fryer temperature to 330 degrees F and set cook time for 5-7 minutes. Cook until the egg reaches your desired doneness. You will need a shorter cooking time for a runny yolk, or longer cooking time for a more cooked egg yolk.

Air Fryer Egg In Hole Recipe Tips

• Use thick-cut bread: Choose thick slices of bread for a sturdier base that will hold the egg better and get crispier in the air fryer.
• Adjust cook time for preferred egg consistency: If you like your egg yolk runny, cook for around 6 minutes on one side and 3-4 minutes after flipping. For firmer eggs, add a minute or two to the second cook time.
• Experiment with seasonings: Feel free to sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper, or other seasonings like garlic powder, chili flakes, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
• Use a round cutter for a perfect hole: A round cup or cookie cutter will give you an even, clean hole to place your egg in, making for a better presentation.
• Avoid overfilling the hole: Crack the egg gently into the hole to prevent overflow, as this might affect cooking or cause the egg to spill out during the flip.
• Air fryer basket prep: If you don’t have an air fryer-safe pan, place the bread directly in the basket, but be sure to spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray to avoid sticking.

Storing Tips

• Storage: To store leftovers place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Reheating: Reheat the Air Fryer Egg in a Hole in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes until the egg is warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in a toaster oven for a quick and even warm-up.
