How to make bacon egg toast
To make this simple breakfast recipe in the air fryer, you’ll need just 3 ingredients plus salt and pepper to taste.
Bread – use your favorite kind! I like soft wheat or white bread loaf but you could use a hearty multi-grain, too.
Eggs – medium-sized eggs work best for regular size bread slices.
Bacon – thinner sliced bacon will cook up quicker than a thicker cut.
Place a slice of bread into the air fryer basket and use the bottom of a cup or small bowl to create an indention in the bread for the egg to sit.
Then, crack an egg on top of the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Take a piece of bacon and gently lay it around the egg, on top of the bread.
Return the basket to the air fryer and set it to 380 degrees F. Set the time for 7 minutes to cook.
Once done, remove the basket and use a spatula to pick up the egg bacon toast. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips and Substitutions
- For crispy bacon, you will need to take an extra step and par-cook it first. To do so, place the bacon in the air fryer basket and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove the bacon and set it aside. Then, start assembling the toast and use the precooked bacon in place of raw. It will cook up more done than this recipe calls for.
- Butter the bread. Add more flavor and buttery goodness by adding a thin layer before cooking.
- Crack the egg in a small bowl first. Doing this will make it easier to add the egg to the bread and remove shell pieces in case pieces break off while cracking.
Variations for Breakfast Toast
Make a deliciously perfect breakfast made a little different each time. You can use this recipe as a starting point and get creative with more ingredient additions. Try adding spinach, roasted red peppers, and cheese to the toast before air frying.
The possibilities are endless for making egg toast with bacon in the air fryer!

Melanie I happened to watch two other videos on this idea just last week and I like your description the best. I wish people would try soft bacon the way you show it in the pictures because it is fantastic that way. So much more flavor than the typical charred crisp piece of bacon. Great job Melanie!
