A quick, protein-packed breakfast toast made in the air fryer featuring melted cheese and a creamy ricotta center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices thick bread
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut a hole in the center of each bread slice.
  2. Brush the tops and bottoms of the bread slices lightly with melted butter.
  3. Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket.
  4. Crack one egg directly into the hole of one bread slice.
  5. Place the second bread slice next to the first one in the basket.
  6. Dollop the ricotta cheese into the hole containing the egg.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the egg and ricotta mixture.
  8. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  9. Air fry at 375F (190C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the egg white is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a crispier edge, you can toast the bread slices plain for 2 minutes before adding the egg mixture.
  • Use sourdough or brioche bread for a richer flavor.
  • Add a dash of paprika or garlic powder with the salt and pepper for extra flavor.
