This Air Fryer Egg-in-a-Hole Sourdough is a quick and flavorful meal that takes a classic breakfast to the next level. By making a dent in the sourdough bread and adding a perfectly cooked egg with seasonings, you get a savory dish that’s crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The addition of garlic, onion, and rosemary gives it a wonderful aromatic touch, and the melted cheese takes it to new heights.
Ingredients:
- 3 slices of sourdough bread
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter (or more, depending on how much you want to spread)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary powder (or fresh rosemary)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any cheese you like, shredded)
Instructions:
- Prep the Bread: Take the three slices of sourdough bread and use a spoon or your fingers to press down a large dent in the center of each piece. Be careful not to tear the bread, just create enough space for the egg.
- Butter the Bread: Spread butter over the entire surface of the bread, except for the dented center. This will ensure the bread gets crispy, while the center stays soft for the egg.
- Season the Bread: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary powder, salt, and pepper on top of the buttered bread to add flavor.
- Air Fry the Bread: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket. Crack one egg into each dented section of the bread. Be careful not to break the yolk. Cook the bread and egg at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolk is still soft (you can adjust the time for a firmer yolk if you prefer).
- Add Cheese: After 5 minutes, open the air fryer and add a little cheese on top of each egg. Cook at 200°F (90°C) for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Once done, carefully remove the bread from the air fryer. The egg yolk should still be soft, and you can spread it around the crispy bread as you eat. Enjoy!
