"Shedding some light on how air fryers handle the criteria for making egg in a basket, also known as one-eyed jack or egg toast, Serrano-Bahri explained that air fryer egg toast "works beautifully because of the circulating heat." Achieving the desired result is much the same as cooking it the standard stovetop way. "The best method is to cut or press a shallow pocket in a slice of bread, crack an egg into it, and air fry until the white is just set and the yolk is still a little runny," he shared."
""Sturdier breads like sourdough, whole grain, or brioche work best," said Nelson Serrano-Bahri. "They hold up to the air fryer's heat without getting too brittle and create a nice crisp crust with a tender inside.""
Air fryers use circulating heat to cook egg-in-a-basket effectively, producing results similar to stovetop cooking. The recommended method is to cut or press a shallow pocket in bread, crack an egg into it, and air fry until the white is set with a slightly runny yolk. Brushing the bread with butter or oil preserves a crisp crust. Cooking at 350°F for six to eight minutes yields desired doneness, with timing adjusted for yolk firmness. Bread choice matters: sturdier options like sourdough, whole grain, or brioche resist brittleness and deliver a crisp exterior with a tender interior.
