Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices thick-cut bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, grated or sliced
- 4 slices smoky turkey bacon
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon plant-based butter, for toasting
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Fry or bake the turkey bacon until it reaches your preferred level of crispiness. Chop green onions, grate or slice the plant-based cheese, and have your eggs ready. Lightly butter one side of each bread slice to help achieve a golden, crispy texture in the air fryer.
- Assemble the Egg Toast: Create a small well or indentation in the center of each bread slice without breaking through. Crack an egg into the hollow, season with salt, pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Sprinkle the grated plant-based cheese over and around the egg, then top with crispy turkey bacon and chopped green onions.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Place the assembled toasts flat in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until the egg whites are set and the cheese has melted with golden crispy edges on the bread.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the toast from the air fryer and let cool for a minute or two. Serve whole or sliced as a hearty breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Use thick bread to better hold the egg filling and ensure crispiness.
- Pre-cook bacon thoroughly to avoid sogginess in the final dish.
- Cooking times may vary; check the egg doneness around 8 minutes.
- Brush bread edges with plant-based butter (natural) for enhanced color and crunch.
- Add fresh herbs or extra cheese toppings after cooking for extra flavor.
