Why Make Air Fryer Breakfast Bites

Air Fryer Breakfast Bites offer a convenient and delicious way to enjoy a homemade breakfast without the need for a stove or oven. The air fryer cooks these bites to golden perfection, giving them a crispy exterior while keeping the filling warm and gooey inside. With simple ingredients and easy preparation, you can whip up a batch of these breakfast bites in no time, making them perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends.

How to Make Air Fryer Breakfast Bites

1. Cook the bacon: Add the bacon to the basket of your air fryer and air fry for 8 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until crispy. Remove the bacon from the air fryer, crumble it, and set aside. Drain any bacon grease and wipe out the air fryer basket.
2. Prepare the egg mixture: While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the eggs and milk. Scramble in a greased skillet over low heat until the eggs are set but not overdone. Season with salt. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced green chiles.
3. Assemble the breakfast bites: Open the package of biscuit dough and peel each biscuit in half to form 16 pieces of dough. Spoon the egg mixture evenly into the center of each piece of biscuit. Fold up the edges of the biscuit around the filling and roll into a ball, ensuring the dough is sealed.
4. Brush with maple butter: Stir together the melted butter and maple syrup to combine. Arrange the biscuit bombs in an even layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one for air to flow. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the maple butter.
5. Air fry: Air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-6 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve: Serve hot and enjoy your delicious air fryer breakfast bites!

Techniques or Tips

• Be sure to seal the biscuit dough tightly around the filling to prevent any leaks during cooking.
• For extra flavor, you can add diced cooked ham, sausage, or vegetables to the egg mixture.

Variation

Feel free to customize these Air Fryer Breakfast Bites to suit your taste preferences:

• Add additional seasonings such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or dried herbs to the egg mixture for extra flavor.

FAQs about Air Fryer Breakfast Bites

1. Can I make these breakfast bites ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the breakfast bites ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to cook. Simply follow the recipe up to the point of air frying, then cover the prepared bites with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to cook, remove the bites from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature while preheating the air fryer. Proceed with air frying as directed.
2. Can I freeze these breakfast bites? Yes, you can freeze these breakfast bites for longer storage. After assembling and brushing with maple butter, place the unbaked bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the bites to a resealable plastic bag or airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to cook, air fry the frozen bites at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes or until heated through.
3. Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated dough? Yes, you can use homemade biscuit dough if preferred. Simply roll out the dough into small circles, spoon the egg mixture onto each circle, and fold the dough over the filling to seal. Proceed with brushing with maple butter and air frying as directed in the recipe. Adjust the cooking time as needed based on the thickness of the homemade dough.
