Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 thick slices of sourdough or whole wheat bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup grated plant-based cheese
- 2 slices smoked turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 tablespoon plant-based butter
- Salt (natural) to taste
- Black pepper (natural) to taste
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Whisk the eggs thoroughly with salt, pepper, and the natural gelling agent until smooth and slightly frothy. This mixture should hold together firmly when cooked on the bread.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread plant-based butter evenly on both sides of the bread slices. Pour the egg mixture gently onto the bread, ensuring it stays within the toast borders. Sprinkle grated plant-based cheese evenly on top, followed by crispy smoked turkey bacon pieces.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Place the assembled toasts in the basket without overlapping. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the egg is set and the cheese is melted beautifully with a lightly golden crust forming around the edges.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove carefully using a spatula and let cool for a minute before serving to enjoy the ideal mix of textures and flavors in your Air Fryer Cheesy Egg Toast.
Notes
- Use thick bread to prevent sogginess and provide a sturdy base for the egg and cheese.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer; air needs to circulate freely for even cooking and crispiness.
- Preheat the air fryer to ensure consistent temperature so eggs set perfectly.
- Opt for smoked turkey bacon to add rich flavor without excess fat.
- Experiment with different plant-based cheeses for unique melting and flavor profiles.
