Notes
- Egg Tip: Crack eggs into a small bowl first for easier transfer to the toast.
- Bread Tip: Use thick, sturdy slices to hold the egg in place during cooking.
- Flavor Ideas: Add crumbled bacon, avocado slices, or a dash of hot sauce.
- Reheat: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes at 350°F.
