   • Carefully slide the egg into the air fryer basket.
   • Season the egg with salt and black pepper, if desired.
   • Air fry the egg at 375°F (190°C) for about 4-5 minutes, or until the egg white is set and the yolk is cooked to your liking.
5. Assemble the Sandwich:
   • Place one slice of toasted bread on a plate.
   • Layer the cooked bacon strips on top of the bread slice.
   • Add any optional additions you like, such as a cheese slice, avocado slices, tomato slices, or lettuce leaves.
