Notes
Serve your Air Fryer Egg and Cheese Toast right after cooking for the best taste. It's great on its own or with a side of fresh fruit, salad, or crispy bacon. If you have leftovers, let the toast cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or toaster for a few minutes before serving. Variations include adding cooked bacon, ham, or sausages for a heartier meal, or sprinkling red pepper flakes on top for a spicy kick.
