Air Fryer Egg In A Hole

This Air Fryer Egg in a Hole recipe uses a slice of bread with a hole cut out to hold an egg, all cooked in the air fryer until the egg white sets. The result is a crisp-edged bread paired with a tender cooked egg in the center. This method allows for hands-free cooking and can be adjusted for how runny or firm you prefer the yolk. The recipe includes seasoning with salt and pepper and suggests alternatives for baking in the oven.

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.
