Easy air fryer bacon and egg toasts are great for a weekend brunch. These toasts only require 3 ingredients and you can make them in under 10 minutes!
I made these bacon and egg air fryer toasts in my Ninja Foodi Air Fryer. Ninja Foodi air fryers have 4 settings: air fry, roast, bake, and grill. Whenever I cook bacon on the air fryer setting at a really high temperature like 390 the bacon will start to smoke and sometimes the smoke detector goes off. My dogs don’t like that noise much. This time I tried the bake setting at 400 and that never happened!
Eggs in Air Fryers
One of my popular posts on this site is for Air Fryer Hard-boiled eggs. Those types of eggs are delicious but I also like my egg yolks on the runny side. After cooking the bacon on some parchment paper for about 4 minutes I cooked the eggs on the toast for 4 to 6 minutes for a runny yolk. The bacon was done and so were the eggs. Depending on the air fryer you have you might have to cook your egg longer for the yolks to be whatever you desire.
These breakfast toasts were delicious and I served them with some fresh fruit on the side.
What Ingredients do I need?
White Bread – Use any type of bread that you like: Rye, Wheat, Sour Dough, or Italian. If you’re looking to lower your calorie intake use Sarah Lee 45 Italian bread.
Eggs – large eggs
Bacon – The best bacon is subjective and depends on personal preference. Some prefer thick-cut bacon while others like it thin and crispy. The type of bacon, whether it’s smoked or unsmoked, can also make a difference.
Salt and Pepper for garnish

How to make Air Fryer Bacon and Egg Toast
Step 1: Set your air fryer to 400 degrees.
Step 2: Place 4 strips of bacon on some parchment paper. Transfer the paper into the air fryer and cook the bacon strips for 4 minutes. The bacon will not be fully cooked and will continue cooking on the toast.
Note: Bacon takes about a good 8 to 10 minutes in the air fryer to cook fully. If the bacon was placed on the toast right away, the toast would turn brown and the egg would be way over cooked.
Step 3: Make an indent large enough for an egg to fit with the back of the spoon on a slice of white bread. Place the bread inside the air fryer. Crack an egg open and slowly place the egg in the middle of the bread.
Step 4: Place two strips of bacon on each side of the bread. Season with salt and pepper.
Continue cooking the toast for 4 to 6 minutes or until the egg is set and to your desired doneness.
Best Air Fryer Tips
The air fryer is so great for cooking simple basic food like air fryer steak, air fryer hard-boiled eggs, and air fryer bacon. Cook up some air fryer chicken breasts for the week and use it chicken quesadillas.
Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Place items in a single layer in the air fryer basket or some food will not cook properly or all the way through.
Use a spray oil such as Pam to get food extra crispy and to save on calories.
Use parchment paper on the bottom of your air fryer for easy clean up.
