How to Make Biscuit Bombs in the Air Fryer
Step 1
Place parchment paper in your air fryer and spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp. Remove grease and wipe clean. Place bacon on a separate plate and break into small pieces.
Step 3
Add the skillet back to the heat and add the butter. Once melted, add eggs and pepper to the skillet and scramble the eggs until finished, but still moist.
Step 4
Remove the skillet from heat and stir the bacon in with the eggs. Cool for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Separate the dough and split each biscuit in half.
Step 6
Spoon the egg and bacon mixture onto the center of each round. Top with some of the shredded cheese. Put the top on the biscuit and fold the edges up and pinch to seal.
Step 7
In a small bowl make the egg wash. Brush biscuits on all sides with egg wash, covering them completely.
Step 8
Place the biscuit bombs with seam sides down on the prepared Air Fryer basket with parchment paper.
Step 9
Cook in the air fryer for 7-8 minutes. Use tongs to turn all of the biscuits in the basket. Cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes or until they are fully cooked and golden brown.
Expert Tips
- Save time by using the microwave to precook the bacon and the scrambled eggs.
- Keep an eye on your Biscuit bombs as all air fryers cook differently. You may need to add more time or decrease the time depending on the Air Fryer.
- Try sausage, turkey bacon, or ham to change things up for your family.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place them in the air fryer basket and air fry at 350 degrees F for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
FAQs
I typically preheat my Air Fryer for recipes, but It is not necessary for this recipe. NOTE: You should never pre-heat your air fryer with parchment paper alone.
Yes! You can make it a little spicy by using pepper jack or any other preferred cheese. I like to use a mixture of Monterrey jack, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.
It's fine to put these directly in your air fryer basket but I suggest spraying it with an oil. Here are the Best Oils for the Air Fryer.
