I got myself a Ninja fryer a few months back and must say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. You can cook anything and it’s delicious. Plus…the electrical bill is lower not having to pre-heat an oven for 30 minutes. Great posting.👍🏾

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yeah, air fryers are awesome. And thank you!!

[@rghig23]

This did not work well with my ninja foodi pressure cooker pro. The bread would burn, and no matter how long I add to the time, it would not cook the egg white all the way. Also, around the edge where the egg meets the bacon, the egg was no where near cooked.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@rghig23 I definitely haven't tried it with every kind of air fryer. My air fryer is just an air fryer it isn't a combo machine. Maybe try lowering the temp?? Glad you tried it!

[@wolfthorn1]

Changed my life. I thought it was a gimmick. I hardly ever use my microwave, toaster, or oven anymore. Tip.... Single person 3liter... Family 5 liter+. Size matters.

[@SMX815]

100%, they are amazing!

[@TortoisePageant]

Matt, thank you. Never had an air fryer before, got one yesterday, and this is the first thing I’ve cooked. It was beautiful. And no oil! 🙏🏻

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are very welcome! So glad you tried this and liked it. Have fun with that air fryer! I have several other air fryer recipes just search "Air fryer In the kitchen with matt" and you will find them. :)

Thank you very much, Matt. I will send your recipe to a friend who love air fryer recipes. He will be pleased of it. Your recipe looks so yummy! 😋

You are very welcome! :)

[@maxduong4537]

Egg on toast is so yummy. I have dipped my buttered toast into the yolk a number of times & it tastes amazing. So either that way or fried egg on toast would sound delicious. You can never regret egg on toast. It’s so good.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Agreed!

[@reginaschellhaas1395]

Thank you! You guided me through using my new Instant Pot (2021) , especially the yogurt instructions. Now I have a Gourmia 7qrt Air Fryer, and I am so pleased to find your excellent instructions and suggestions, once again! You provide great information, and present it so very well! Thank you for sharing your talent, much appreciated!

[@jophillips2868]

Looks good seen someone else make tost with just the egg on it but she used a cup and used it to press a circle in the bread which the egg fit in and did not run off worked great.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome

[@francesfinley482]

Yes I saw that recipe too and thought about combining her method into this recipe

[@remoraking5239]

Having this for breakfast, thanks Matt for the share. Keep em coming.

[@laowai2000]

Used to buy something similar years ago with bread, pizza tomato paste as a base, just the egg yoke without white, with bacon. Absolutely delicious.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

That is awesome! and sounds yummy.

[@user-tq5xu8dx9p]

Looks easy, quick and delicious. Will certainly try it. Thank you

[@neilvend]

Thank you for your recipe. I like crispy bacon so doing the bacon pieces for a reasonable period before arranging the bread, egg and bacon works a treat. The pre-bacon is also easier to manipulate to creat the circle.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You are welcome!! Yeah if you cook the bacon in the air fryer first for 3 to 4 minutes, it should still be pliable enough to shape into a "nest" to hold the egg. But it will also let the bacon get crispier.

[@lindabailey1353]

Looks yummy 😋

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@lindabailey1353 Thanks!

[@wendyhannan2454]

Thank you, my mother used to call this snack, Egg in the Nest. I had this for breakfast as a kid, many years ago. 😉 Your method with the air fryer is excellent and so quick and easy 👍

You are very welcome, Wendy! That is a great name for it. :)

[@dianaverhulst3407]

We made it in a frying pan, called it Egg in a Frame, but bacon was on the side. This is a twist. I just got a Ninja Air fryer with Smart Lid. I'm assuming I can make it in that?

[@joannaluca8495]

Genius idea!! I’ll definitely make it for breakfast tomorrow morning. Thank you, I just subscribed to your wonderful channel 😊

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thank you! Let me know how it turns out. Remember if your bacon is thicker you may want to cook it in the air fryer first for 3 to 4 minutes. But thin bacon like I used in the video tends to work great. If you want the bacon more crispy then definitely cook it a few minutes on its own first. :)

[@Simonsvids]

Wow. I will try this. But being British I will cover it with microwaved baked beans in tomato sauce and it will be the ultimate British 'beans on toast' which is a very popular snack in the UK. Grated Parmesan cheese on top of that will make it even better.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome! Lots of variations you can try according to your tastes.

[@franceswatts4001]

Don’t forget grated cheese on top to turn it into “cheesy beans”.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!! :)

[@puter2003]

Tip: before adding the bacon, make an indent in the bread with a spoon or glass bottom to ensure to run over. Thanks for sharing.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Good tip! Although I never have an issue with run over because the bacon keeps it all in place.

[@geraldinemcleod456]

How long would I need to cook egg if I have bacon is already cooked

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@geraldinemcleod456 Just until the bread turns golden brown. 7 to 10 minutes is probably long enough.

G’day Matt, you put so little pepper on the eggs it was irritating. Then, magically, your cooked eggs had a lovely, generous ‘dusting’ of pepper. Yes, air fryers are truly wonderful inventions! Cheers, Bill H.

[@dorothywillis1]

I'm having trouble believing this works in spite of all the approving comments. I cook my husband's bacon every morning in the air fryer -- two slices of bacon, 350 for 6 minutes -- or 7 minutes, depending on how thick the bacon is. I would think the egg would be cooked as hard as a rock and the toast would be rubbery. I will try this, and let you know if it works for me!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Give it a try! I have done it many times and it works great. The time will vary depending on the air fryer. If 6 or 7 works well for your bacon, start with that amount of time.

@@susanfabian1521 Have fun playing around with it! Cook the bacon first in the air fryer for 3 to 4 minutes, it will still be pliable and you can still form it into a nest on top of the bread for the egg. Also, did you watch til the end? The egg yolk is still pretty runny :)
