Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 ounce shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon butter, softened
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Lightly spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the unbuttered side of one slice of bread.
  4. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the ricotta layer.
  5. Pour the whisked egg over the cheese layer, letting it soak slightly into the bread.
  6. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side facing out.
  7. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Carefully place the assembled toast sandwich into the air fryer basket.
  9. Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  10. Remove from the air fryer, slice in half, and serve immediately for a delicious, quick breakfast idea.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use thick-cut artisan bread.
  • You can substitute the cheddar cheese with Gruyère or Monterey Jack for a different melt.
  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving for a touch of heat.
