I recently discovered this air fryer egg toast with bacon and let me tell you it’s a total game changer for your morning routine. I start out by taking two slices of bread—any kind you prefer works just fine—and then I brush them with a tablespoon of butter or sometimes just a quick oil spray.

Its simplicity really surprises me, kind of like those underrated air fryer breakfast and dinner recipes that are both healthy and easy. Honestly, it reminded me of some of the delicious snacks recipes I’ve seen in food videos.

Air Fryer Egg Toast With Bacon Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Instead of regular bread you could use gluten free or even bagel slices if you’re in the mood for something different
You can swap the large eggs with egg whites for a lighter version or even try a tofu scramble slice if you’re avoiding eggs
For the bacon try turkey bacon or even a few slices of lean ham if you wanna cut down on fat
If you dont have butter an olive oil drizzle or coconut oil can work pretty well
You can use sea salt or Himalayan salt in place of regular salt for a slight boost in flavor

Pro Tips

1. When frying the bacon, make sure the pieces arent overlapping too mush in the air fryer basket so they get evenly cooked, this can really improve the crispiness overall.
2. Be super careful when cracking your eggs into the bread, try not to break the yolk – a small spill can ruin the look and taste of your dish.
3. Don’t be afraid to experiment with the egg timing in the air fryer; if you like your sunny side up a bit firmer or runnier, a few extra seconds or seconds less can make a big difference.
4. If you wanna add a bit more flavor, try sprinkling a pinch of garlic powder or your favorite herbs on the buttered side of the bread before cooking. Enjoy!
