Servings: 4 pieces
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-Cut Bread (brioche or sourdough)
- 4 slices Bacon
- 4 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- Fresh Chives, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2 minutes. Lay the bacon slices flat in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry the bacon at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off any excess grease from the basket.
- Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a small glass, press a wide, shallow well into the center of the unbuttered side of each slice - deep enough to cradle an egg.
- Thick-cut bread works best here because it creates a sturdy nest that holds the egg in place.
- Place the bread slices buttered-side down in the air fryer basket. Carefully crack one egg into the well of each slice. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 5 to 6 minutes, until the egg whites are just set but the yolks are still soft and runny. Keep a close eye starting at the 5-minute mark - every air fryer runs a little differently, and you want that perfect jammy yolk.
- Break or cut each bacon slice in half and lay the pieces on top of the eggs. Sprinkle each toast evenly with shredded cheddar cheese. Air fry for 1 more minute at 330°F until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully lift the toasts out of the air fryer with a spatula. Sprinkle with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately - the runny yolk, salty bacon, and melted cheese are best enjoyed right away.
