Eggs and bacon are staple breakfast ingredients in British homes and they’re often best enjoyed together as part of a fry up.<\/p>\n
While it’s not unusual to consider cooking these items in an air fryer, one chef has found a way to do it all at once.<\/p>\n
In a video shared on his TikTok profile, @theairfryerguy revealed his super-easy morning cheat meal.<\/p>\n
The recipe consisted of one slice of white bread, one egg, and a single bacon rasher all layered on top of one another.<\/p>\n
Branded as the “perfect” strategy for a quick meal, the hack amassed a staggering 333.7k likes on the social media platform.<\/p>\n

After this, the bread, egg, and bacon should be perfectly cooked in one single portion.<\/p>\n Those who enjoy crispier bacon may want to cook the dish for a little bit longer, and the same goes for people who like a set yolk.<\/p>\n Remove the slice from the fryer and enjoy with a dash of cracked black pepper and sauce of choice for the ultimate breakfast.<\/p>\n One TikTok user revealed that they take the recipe one step further with a few added extras. They wrote: “I cut the bacon up first sprinkle it on top of the egg for four minutes then put a slice of cheese on top then another four minutes… boom.”<\/p>\n Others revealed that they weren’t a fan of the recipe as they found the egg slid off the bread before being cooked.<\/p>\n To prevent this, it is useful to press a slight well into the centre of the bread in order to keep the whites contained until they harden.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/14\/590x\/secondary\/Three-ingredient-English-breakfast-takes-just-seven-minutes-in-the-air-fryer-recipe-4943200.jpg?r=1693858114577\")
