About Air Fryer Toast
Who doesn’t love golden, crispy, perfect toast for breakfast? Well, I do! It has become my go-to method since I learned to make toast in an air fryer.
Is it better than toasting in a toaster oven? Well, not really. But my air fryer is kept permanently on the counter while I have to pull out the toaster from the cabinet. Eliminating the few extra steps of pulling out the toaster and stashing it back in the cabinet is a game-changer for me. I am sure you will agree!
Plus, toasts made in air fryer are just perfect. Crispy, golden brown, and perfectly toasted.
The toasting time may vary depending on the thickness of your bread and how crispy you want it to be. Toast one or two pieces of bread at a time in a single layer; do not overlap for better results.
You can line the air fryer tray with parchment paper to keep it clean. Make sure to leave some space on the sides for the airflow.
This is a great recipe for college students or those with limited kitchen space.
Ingredients
You need one ingredient – A slice of bread of your choice.
You can choose from white bread, brown whole wheat bread, English muffins, garlic bread, sourdough, gluten-free bread, multigrain bread, or any bread you prefer.
How To Make Air Fryer Toast
Place your bread in the air fryer basket.
Set the temperature to 400°F (200°F), and air fry for 2 minutes.
Pull the basket out and flip the toast.
Air fry for another 2 minutes or until the toast is golden brown.
If you have thinly sliced bread, your toast will probably be done in 3 instead of 4 minutes. If you like your toast dark, add 30 seconds more.
Each air fryer is different, and the toasting time may vary depending on your model. I suggest toasting the bread once and setting your perfect time.
You may hear your toast moving around in the air fryer oven, but worry not. Because of the hot air circulating inside the air fryer, the toast may move inside the basket.
Top the warm toast with butter, jam, avocado, jelly, or peanut butter. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
Once your toasted bread is ready, the serving opportunities are endless. You can top it with your favorite toppings. Here are some suggestions for sweet toppings and savory toppings.
Slather butter, jam, jelly, cream cheese, nut butter, or Nutella on the crisp toast to serve for breakfast. My personal favorites are almond butter and white unsalted butter.
Top the toast with avocado and make avocado toast. For a filling breakfast, you can add a grated boiled egg over the avocado. You can replace the grated boiled egg with a sunny-side-up or poached egg.
Top with Ricotta Cheese and drizzle honey or maple syrup for a sweet treat.
Serve it with Greek Omelette, Masala Omelette, or Mushroom Omelette.
Serve it on the side with eggs or soup for a light dinner.
Top it with veggies and fruits to make a refreshing bruschetta. For a quick dessert, I like to top a piece of toast with whipped ricotta cheese and fresh fruits, then drizzle honey or maple syrup.
Cut the toast into small pieces and add the pieces to salads.
