  • 5 strips bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the bacon by laying the strips in the air fryer and air frying for 6 minutes at 360°F. Flip each piece and cook for another 5-6 minutes until crispy. Set the strips aside to cool, then crumble while the perogies cook.

  4. Optional Step: Open the air fryer basket and sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the perogies, then air fryer for an additional 3 minutes at 350°F or until the cheese is melted.
