Notes

Air fryers can vary in power, so adjust cooking time as needed. To prevent soggy toast, lightly toast the bread before adding the egg mixture. Room temperature eggs cook more evenly. Get creative with cheese and toppings to customize the recipe. For easy cleanup, spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Leftovers are best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though the toast may become soggy.
