What You’ll Need
Before you begin, gather the following ingredients and equipment:

Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) to ensure it reaches the desired temperature before cooking.

5. Add a slice of cheese on top of the bread in the basket.
6. Carefully pour the whisked eggs over the cheese, making sure they cover the bread evenly.
7. Add the cooked turkey bacon on top of the eggs.
8. Place the second slice of bread on top of the turkey bacon and eggs. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on top if desired.
9. Close the air fryer basket and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the bread is crispy.
10. Once cooked, carefully remove the breakfast sandwich from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute before slicing in half.
11. Serve your air-fried breakfast sandwich hot, with your favorite side, such as a piece of fruit or a glass of milk.
