Popular TikToker, Paul Lee Hiley recently shared his viral bacon and egg toast air fryer recipe to his 1.2 million followers sending an online frenzy around the world.

"I’ve become that air fryer person haven't I," he jokes.

"I love the fact that it cooks a bacon and egg on a piece of toast and makes the bread taste kind of like fried bread.

"I'm going to show you what I do," he tells his followers.

As easy as one, two, three

Paul places one piece of white bread on the bottom of the tray and lines the outside of the bread with strips of bacon.

He then intents the centre with his finger making a small well to put the cracked egg into, seasons with salt and pepper and inserts the tray into the air fryer for 11-12 minutes at 160 degrees.

Once ready, Paul shows his followers the cooked result before leaving one final instruction.

"Go and get an air fryer," he tells his viewers, revealing that he bought his from Amazon.

The TikTok community couldn't believe the simple and easy recipe, with one person revealing, "I’ve watched this about 10 times."
