Ingredients
● 4 eggs
● 8 slices of toast

- Once you fit your first piece of flattened toast in to the ramekins, do the same thing again with a second piece of toast, putting it on top of the first.
- Set your ramekins aside and then cut your ham pieces in to strips so that you end up with 8 pieces. Add your ham pieces on top of each of the ramekins full of bread.
- After adding your ham, break one egg in to the toast lined ramekins. If you like to have your egg seasoned with salt and pepper, you can do this now.
- Sprinkle your cheese on top of your egg. Use as much or as little cheese as you like.
- Now, set your ramekins inside your air fryer and turn your fryer to 320 degrees. Now, let your ramekins cook for 15 minutes.
- Once cooked through, you can serve your breakfasts in their ramekins or you can tip them out.
