- Cook Time: 13 minutes
- Total Time: 13 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 2 thick slices of sourdough or whole-grain bread
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or cooking spray
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh lemon juice or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Step 1: Toast the Bread
Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray them with oil or brush with a little olive oil. Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 2 to 3 minutes until they are lightly golden and slightly crisp.
- Step 2: Prepare the Avocado
While the bread is pre-toasting, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mash it with a fork until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- Step 3: Create a Well for the Egg
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the pre-toasted bread. Use the back of a spoon to create a small “well” or indentation in the center of the avocado mash. This will help hold the egg in place.
- Step 4: Add the Egg
Carefully crack one egg into the well on each slice of toast. If you are worried about the egg sliding off, you can crack it into a small ramekin first and then gently pour it onto the avocado.
- Step 5: Final Air Frying
Place the assembled toasts back into the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes. Check at the 5-minute mark; cook longer if you prefer a set yolk or stop early if you like it runny.
- Step 6: Season and Serve
Carefully remove the toast using a spatula. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, extra salt, and pepper before serving immediately.
