TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED:

PREPARE DOUGH: Open the can of biscuits. Split each biscuit in half, so you end up with 16 thinner biscuits. Slightly flatten them out.

FILL BISCUIT BITES: Scoop ¼ of a piece of bacon, 1 spoonful of scrambled eggs and 1 cheese cube into the center of each biscuit circle.

PLACE IN AIR FRYER: Place breakfast bites into the air fryer basket so they are not touching. You might have to do two batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.

BASTE WITH BUTTER: Baste the tops of the breakfast bombs with the melted butter using a pastry brush.

SPRINKLE WITH TOPPING: Sprinkle breakfast bites with salt.

AIR FRY BREAKFAST BOMBS: Cook in the air fryer at 350ºF for 6 minutes. Time may vary depending on your machine so check them at 5 minutes.

COOL: Let them cool for a few minutes before eating. Serve with fresh fruit.

STORAGE TIPS

Refrigerate: Due to their cheese and egg filling, these air fryer breakfast sandwiches are best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.

Freeze: If you would like to freeze your leftovers, individually wrap each biscuit bite with plastic wrap and put them into a ziptop freezer bag or an airtight container. Biscuit bombs can be frozen for up to a month.

Defrost: To defrost, unwrap desired number of biscuit bites completely and put them on a microwave safe plate. Cover them with a paper towel. Reheat in the microwave for 1 – 1 1/2 minutes, depending on your machine.
