Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 thick-cut slices of bread (sourdough or whole wheat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, grated or sliced
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1 tbsp plant-based butter, softened
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Slice the bread and lay out the smoked turkey bacon. Grate or slice the plant-based cheese so it’s ready to layer. Crack the eggs into separate bowls and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Toast: Lightly butter both sides of the bread slices with plant-based butter to ensure an extra golden and crispy crust. Place a bread slice on your work surface, layer with smoked turkey bacon evenly, then add the plant-based cheese. Carefully crack an egg on top, keeping the yolk intact, and season again lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cook in the Air Fryer: Place the assembled toast carefully into the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, checking at 8 minutes to ensure the egg yolk is cooked to your preferred doneness and the cheese has melted beautifully with crisped edges on the bread.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, gently remove the toast and serve immediately while warm, showcasing the perfect cheesy pull alongside the savory bacon crunch.
Notes
- Use thicker bread slices to prevent sogginess and help the toast hold toppings better.
- Preheat the air fryer to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Monitor the egg closely to avoid overcooking the yolk; quick air fryer heat cooks yolks fast.
- Keep toppings thin to ensure everything cooks evenly.
- Experiment with different plant-based cheese blends to find your favorite melt and flavor.
