Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick-cut bread (sourdough or your choice)

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorite cheeses)

2 tablespoons butter, softened

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). While it heats, spread the softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will create a crispy, golden crust.

    Season the Butter: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle half of this mixture evenly over the buttered side of each slice of bread.

      Add Cheese: Place a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on the non-buttered side of each piece of bread. It's okay to pile it high as it will melt and become ooey-gooey.

        Make the Egg Nest: Carefully crack an egg on top of the cheese on each slice. Ensure the yolk stays intact for a beautiful presentation. Season each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper.

          Air Fry the Toast: Place the prepared slices in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until the egg whites are set, and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

            Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the toast from the air fryer. Sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your crispy cheesy egg toast!
