FAQs

Can I use different types of bread?

Yes, you can use any bread you prefer such as whole wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free. Just make sure the bread slices fit comfortably in your air fryer basket.

How do I know when the eggs are cooked perfectly?

Cooking times can vary depending on your air fryer. For firm whites and runny yolks, 5 to 8 minutes total usually works well. If you prefer fully cooked yolks, add a minute or two more and keep an eye on the progress.
