Easy Delicious Breakfast Recipe
- Also known as egg in a basket or eggs in a nest, this recipe is always a hit no matter the name!
- This easy breakfast needs just a slice of bread, eggs, and some cheese.
- The air fryer circulates the air and so the slices of bread are perfectly toasted. While the eggs cook into the bread, the cheese melts and forms a golden and gooey topping.

Ingredients and Variations
BREAD – Almost all bread tastes good in the air fryer – white, brown, and multigrain. Try sourdough, a bagel, or even a brioche for a variety of tastes and textures. Gluten-free? Then try gluten-free bread.
CHEESE – Cheddar cheese is the simplest and easiest. However, this would also taste good with some Gruyere, Havarti, and pepper jack.
VARIATIONS – Sprinkle the egg with some fresh basil leaves or some dill. Adding bacon will turn this into a whole new level of delish.

A few simple steps to this easy recipe.
- Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press a “hole” in the bread. Butter the edges of the bread.

What To Eat With Egg in the Hole
