Pro Tips for Flawless Results Every Time
-
Bread Choice is Key: Use sturdy, thick-sliced bread (at least 1/2 inch thick). Flimsy bread will become too brittle. Day-old bread works excellently.
-
Prevent Sticking: Even with a non-stick basket, a quick spray is non-negotiable. Those crispy egg whites will fuse to the mesh otherwise.
-
Don’t Waste the Round! Air-frying the little bread cut-out alongside the toast gives you a perfect dipper for the runny yolk. It’s the best part.
-
Room Temp Eggs: For the most even cooking, use eggs that aren’t straight from the fridge. A 10-minute counter rest makes a difference.
