Recipe for air fryer egg and bacon breakfast biscuit bombs
Ingredients
Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Biscuit Bombs
- 2 beaten eggs
- 4 slices of bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 oz sharp cheddar cheese cut into ten 3/4-inch cubes
- 1 can 10.2 oz refrigerated buttermilk biscuits – 5 biscuits
Instructions
- Cut two pieces of cooking parchment paper, 8 inches round. Put one of the rounds into the bottom of the air fryer. Sprinkle some cooking oil over it.
- Cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat to crispness. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel. Wipe the skillet using a paper towel. Add butter to the skillet and melt it over medium heat. Add the two beaten eggs and pepper to the skillet. Cook until the eggs get thick while still maintaining their moisture. Remove from the heat and stir together with bacon. Leave the mix to cool for about six minutes.
- Separate the dough into five biscuits with each biscuit having two layers. Press each of these into 4-inch rounds. Place one tablespoonful of the egg-bacon mixture onto each round at the center. Add one cheese piece on top. Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit up to cover the fillings. Seal by pinching.
- Beat the third egg in water in a small bowl. Brush the sealed biscuits on every side with the egg wash.
- Put 5 of the biscuit bombs with the seal sides facing down onto the parchment paper on the air fryer basket. Sprinkle the second round of parchment with a little oil on both sides. Place the parchment on top of the first 5 biscuits and put the remaining biscuits on top of it.
- Set your air fryer to 375° Fahrenheit and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the top parchment and use tongs to turn the biscuits. At this point, place them in the basket in only one layer and cook for an extra 4-6 minutes at about 165° Fahrenheit until fully cooked through.
Serve when hot or allow to cool for a few minutes. If preparing for later consumption, place in a cooling rack and refrigerate for 40-45 minutes until fully cool.
Notes
Do not preheat the air fryer with parchment paper in it only.
Refer to your air fryer manual for recommended temperature settings if it does not have the exact temperature recommended in this recipe.
Alternate recipes
For variations, you can use other cheese varieties such as pepper Jack in place of cheddar cheese.
