Description

These Air Fryer Breakfast Bites are a delicious, savory morning treat combining crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, and spicy green chiles all wrapped in flaky biscuit dough. Cooked quickly in the air fryer, they’re perfect for a convenient, flavorful breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 6 slices bacon

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons diced green chiles (from a can)

Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated flaky layers biscuit dough (8 count)

Topping

  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Place the bacon slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 8 minutes until crispy.
  2. Prepare bacon pieces: Remove the bacon from the air fryer and crumble into small pieces. Drain any excess bacon grease from the air fryer basket and wipe it clean.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Whisk together eggs and milk. In a greased skillet over low heat, gently scramble the eggs until they’re just set but still moist. Season with salt. Avoid overcooking as they will continue cooking in the air fryer.
  4. Mix fillings: Remove scrambled eggs from heat. Stir in crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced green chiles until evenly combined.
  5. Prepare biscuit dough: Open the biscuit dough package and separate each biscuit. Peel each biscuit in half to create 16 pieces.
  6. Fill the dough: Spoon an even amount of the egg mixture onto the center of each dough piece.
  7. Form bites: Fold the edges of each dough piece around the filling and roll into a tight ball, ensuring the edges are sealed to prevent leakage during cooking.
  8. Make the glaze: Combine melted butter and maple syrup in a small bowl and stir to blend.
  9. Arrange in air fryer: Place the filled biscuit balls in an even layer in the air fryer basket with space between each for air circulation. Work in batches if necessary.
  10. Brush with glaze: Brush each biscuit bite with the maple butter glaze evenly over the tops.
  11. Air fry the bites: Cook at 350°F (177°C) for 5-6 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked through.
  12. Serve hot: Remove the breakfast bites from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the eggs in the skillet as they will continue cooking inside the dough while air frying.
  • Work in batches if your air fryer basket is small to ensure even cooking.
  • Make sure to seal the dough well to avoid any filling leakage during cooking.
  • Use refrigerated biscuit dough for the flaky layers and easy shaping.
  • You can substitute the cheddar with your favorite cheese like pepper jack or mozzarella for variety.
