Step 2: Eggsellent Eggs

Begin by cracking the egg and placing it into a small bowl. While this isn't necessary, It gives your better control over the egg.

Step 3: Bacon Nest

Now add two slices of bread (or one) to your air fryer basket. You can use whatever kind of bread that you want.

Take a bacon strip and curl it around on top of the slice of bread to form a nest or little basket. This will hold the egg, so it doesn't run all over the place.

Step 4: Pour and Sprinkle

Now pour the egg into the middle of the bacon nest. Again you can just crack the egg and place it there, but that doesn't always work as planned, haha.

Sprinkle on some pepper if you like. I don't normally add salt to the egg because bacon is salty, but you certainly can if you like, or any other spices.

Step 5: Cook and Eat

Place the air fryer basket back in the air fryer and set the temp to 350F/176C.

Cook the bacon and egg toast for 10 minutes. Then remove the basket. The toast should be nice and golden brown and the egg and bacon strip should be nice and cooked.

NOTE: If you are using really thick bacon, form the bacon basket right in the air fryer by itself and cook the bacon for about 3 to 4 minutes first. Otherwise, the normal 10 minutes may not be enough to cook it all the way.

Remove the toast with your hands, don't touch the air fryer basket, and place it on a plate. You can use a spatula too if you like.

Eat the toast with your hands or use a fork and knife. The egg should have a half runny and half firm yolk. If you don't want any run to your yolk, cook for an additional 2 minutes or so, maybe longer, depending on your air fryer. Although your bread might get too brown.

Enjoy!

Such a quick and easy breakfast, start to finish, it is ready in 12 to 13 minutes.
