Using a sturdy glass, carefully press down in the center of the bread slice to make a well for the egg, being careful not to tear the bread. Use your fingers to even up the indent so the egg can spread nicely. Repeat so you have 2 slices bread. See video demonstration.
Butter bread with salted butter. Use spreadable butter to make it easier to butter the bread without tearing it.
Place rack in the air fryer basket to raise the food up closer to the heating element. Spray rack with oil to ensure bread doesn’t stick.
Crack one of your 2 eggs into a small dish, such as a ramekin, being careful not to break the yolk.
Carefully pour egg into the indentation in one of the bread slices. Repeat with the other egg, pouring it into the second piece of bread.
Sprinkle the eggs with a little kosher salt and pepper to taste.
Air fry at 375℉ for 6 minutes for an over easy runny egg yolk. Add another minute or 2 for a more cooked egg yolk.
Carefully remove the egg toast from the air fryer with a spatula. Serve and enjoy!
