-
Cut two 8-inch rounds of cooking parchment paper. Place one round in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Spray with cooking spray.
-
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook sausage in oil 2 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to crumble, until no longer pink; using a slotted spoon, transfer to a medium bowl. Reduce heat to medium. Add beaten eggs, salt and pepper to the drippings in the skillet; cook until eggs are thickened but still moist, stirring frequently. Stir eggs into sausage in bowl. Cool 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, separate dough into 5 biscuits; separate each biscuit into 2 layers. Press each into a 4-inch round. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoonful of egg mixture onto the center of each round. Top with one piece of the cheese. Gently fold edges up and over filling; pinch to seal. In a small bowl, beat remaining egg and water. Brush biscuits on all sides with egg wash.
-
Place 5 of the biscuit bombs, seam sides down, on parchment in air fryer basket. Spray both sides of second parchment round with cooking spray. Top biscuit bombs in basket with second parchment round, then top with remaining 5 biscuit bombs.
-
Set to 325°F; cook 8 minutes. Remove top parchment round; using tongs, carefully turn biscuits, and place in basket in single layer. Cook 4 to 6 minutes longer or until cooked through (at least 165°F).
Expert Tips
- Air fryer temperature control settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.
- Don't skip the cooking parchment paper! Separating the bombs with parchment prevents them from sticking together.
- Be sure to let the sausage mixture cool for a few minutes before filling the bombs. This makes the dough easier to work with.
- Our recipes do not call for preheating your air fryer. Just set the temperature, and start. Never preheat with parchment paper alone.
