How to Make Breakfast Bombs in the Air Fryer

  • Cut the cheese evenly into 16 cubes and set aside.
  • Open the can of biscuits and split them in half. 
  • Add a teaspoonful of bacon, a spoonful of scrambled eggs, and a cheese cube to the biscuit. Then, pull the sides of the biscuit up and pinch them together to secure.
  • Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
  • Place the breakfast bombs in the air fryer, ensuring there is space between each one for them to grow. Cook at 350°F for 6 minutes. You may need to cook these breakfast bombs in batches.

Helpful Notes:

  • Make these vegetarian by using plant-based bacon or sausage.
  • To make these breakfast bombs extra special, sprinkle them with freshly grated parmesan cheese before cooking.
  • Add a little spice to the bombs by adding chopped jalapenos to the eggs while they cook or using pepper jack cheese.
