Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Bread Slices (2 slices, sturdy whole wheat or sourdough)
- Eggs (2 large, fresh)
- Plant-Based Cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
- Smoked Chicken Sausage (3 slices, chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- Natural Gelling Agent (1/2 teaspoon)
- Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural) (1 teaspoon)
- Black Pepper (freshly cracked, to taste)
- Chopped Chives (1 tablespoon)
- Olive Oil (1 tablespoon, for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gently whisk the eggs with the natural gelling agent and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until combined. Chop the smoked chicken sausage and grate the plant-based cheese. Set all aside.
- Assemble the Toast: Lightly brush both sides of each bread slice with olive oil. Carefully create a shallow indentation in the center of each slice to hold the egg mixture. Pour the egg mixture into the indentation, then evenly sprinkle the chopped chicken sausage and grated plant-based cheese on top.
- Cook in the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled toasts flat inside the basket. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the egg is set and the plant-based cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent overcooking.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the toasts from the air fryer. Sprinkle freshly chopped chives and freshly cracked black pepper on top. Serve immediately while hot and cheesy for the best experience.
Notes
- Using a natural gelling agent helps the egg set perfectly without becoming rubbery.
- Choose slightly thicker bread slices to avoid sogginess from the egg mixture.
- A light brushing of olive oil on the bread ensures a golden and crispy finish.
- Always preheat the air fryer for consistent cooking results.
- Arrange the toasts carefully in the basket to prevent spills or uneven cooking.
