  • Tongs or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 English muffin (or sandwich bread)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 slice cheese (cheddar or American)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F)
  • Split the English muffin and place it in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to lightly toast
  • Lightly grease a ramekin or silicone mold and crack the egg into it
  • Cook the egg in the air fryer for 4–5 minutes until set
  • Remove the muffin and egg, then assemble with cheese in between
  • Return the sandwich to the air fryer for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts

Notes

  • Use a mold to keep the egg round and sandwich-friendly
  • Don’t overcook the egg—it should stay soft
  • Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer
