Easiest Air-Fryer Breakfast Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 English muffin (or any sandwich bun)
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice cheese (cheddar, American, or any cheese you like)
- 1-2 slices cooked bacon or 1 sausage patty (optional, or use both for extra flavor)
- Butter (optional, for toasting)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Prep the English Muffin:
- Slice your English muffin in half.
- If you’d like, spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the muffin to help it toast golden and crispy.
-
Cook the Egg:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the egg into a small, air fryer-safe pan or ramekin (you can spray the pan with a little cooking spray to prevent sticking).
- Put the pan with the egg into the air fryer basket and cook for 4-6 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like your egg. If you prefer your egg fully cooked, go for the longer cooking time.
-
Toast the Muffin:
- While the egg is cooking, place the muffin halves in the air fryer basket with the cut side facing up. Air fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. (If you buttered the muffin, it will toast even more deliciously!)
-
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Once everything is cooked, assemble your sandwich: Place the egg on the bottom half of the toasted muffin.
- Add your choice of cheese (cheddar works great), and top with bacon slices or a sausage patty.
- Place the top half of the muffin over the sandwich to complete it.
-
Serve:
- Serve immediately while the sandwich is hot and the cheese is melted. Enjoy your Easiest Air-Fryer Breakfast Sandwich with a cup of coffee or your favorite breakfast side!
Tips for Customizing Your Sandwich:
- Meat Options: Swap bacon for turkey bacon, ham, or a veggie sausage patty for a different twist.
- Veggies: Add spinach, tomato slices, or avocado for extra freshness and nutrition.
- Cheese Choices: Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss, provolone, or pepper jack to switch up the flavor.
