Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices sturdy bread such as sourdough or whole wheat
Egg Mixture
- 2 large fresh eggs
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded plant-based cheese (e.g., mozzarella-style, smoked cheddar-style)
- 2 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
For Cooking and Garnish
- Olive oil spray
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and black pepper until well combined. Stir in the shredded plant-based cheese and chopped smoked turkey bacon to ensure every bite is flavorful and creamy.
- Prepare the bread slices: Lightly spray both sides of each bread slice with olive oil to promote even browning. Using a small spoon or knife, carefully create a shallow well in the center of each slice without cutting through the bread, providing space for the egg mixture.
- Assemble each toast: Spoon the cheesy egg mixture gently into the wells of each bread slice, filling generously but avoiding overflow to prevent dripping during cooking.
- Cook in the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled toasts in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the bread is golden and crisp.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the toasts carefully when done and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use day-old bread as it absorbs the egg mixture without becoming soggy.
- Do not overfill the bread wells to avoid spilling.
- Preheat the air fryer for even cooking and crispiness.
- Check the toasts halfway through cooking to prevent over browning and adjust time if needed.
- Mix different types of plant-based cheese for added depth and creaminess.
- Let the toasts rest briefly after cooking to allow them to set and enhance flavor.
