1.  Use a glass to press a deep circle into the center of each slice of bread. Use your fingers to flatten the bread inside the circle, creating a “nest.”

2.  Carefully place the bread into the air fryer basket. You can use parchment paper underneath for easy cleanup.

3.  Crack one egg into the nest of each slice of bread.

4.  Season with salt and pepper.

5.  Air fry at 340°F (170°C) for 7-10 minutes, depending on how you like your egg yolk. For a runny yolk, 8 minutes is perfect.

6.  If using cheese, sprinkle it on top during the last minute of cooking.

7.  Carefully remove with a spatula and serve immediately.
