Air Fryer Egg In A Hole
Description
Air Fryer Egg In A Hole involves cutting a hole out of a bread slice and cracking a medium egg into the center. Using parchment or foil sprayed with cooking spray in the air fryer insert prevents sticking. Cooking is done at 375°F for 5 to 7 minutes, which sets the egg whites while leaving the yolk to your desired doneness. The bread crisps gently around the edges where exposed to air fryer heat.
Seasoning with salt and black pepper right before serving complements the mild bread and egg flavors. The recipe notes an option to bake multiple eggs in a hole in the oven on a greased sheet pan at 400°F for 5 to 7 minutes, useful for serving several people.
The cut-out bread pieces can be used as dippers for the yolk, or gently pressed to create an indentation for the egg. Care is advised not to overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking multiple pieces. Cooking time can be modified to adjust yolk firmness.
