For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce before cooking. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan. If you prefer a runny yolk, reduce the cooking time by 1-2 minutes. Ensure your air fryer is clean to prevent any unwanted flavors from transferring to your dish. Consider adding a side of crispy bacon or fresh fruit to complete your brunch masterpiece.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). (2 minutes)
02
StepUsing a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass (approximately 2-3 inches in diameter), carefully cut a hole in the center of the frozen waffle. Reserve the waffle cutout. (2 minutes)
03
StepPlace a square of parchment paper in the air fryer basket. Gently place the waffle onto the parchment paper, along with the reserved waffle cutout. (1 minute)
04
StepCrack the egg directly into the waffle hole. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (1 minute)
05
StepClose the air fryer and cook until the egg white is mostly set but still slightly jiggly, about 5-6 minutes. (6 minutes)
06
StepRemove the reserved waffle cutout from the air fryer. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the egg waffle. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the egg white is fully set, about 1-2 minutes. (2 minutes)
07
StepCarefully transfer the Air Fryer Waffle Egg in a Hole to a plate. Drizzle generously with pure maple syrup and serve immediately. (1 minute)
