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 Bacon: Add the bacon slices to the basket of your air fryer and air fry for 8 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until crispy.
  2. Prepare Bacon: Remove the cooked bacon from the air fryer and crumble it into small pieces. Drain any excess bacon grease and wipe out the air fryer basket to prepare for the next use.
  3. Scramble Eggs: While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the eggs and milk. Scramble the eggs in a greased skillet over low heat until they are set but still moist, as they will continue to cook in the air fryer. Season with salt.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Remove the scrambled eggs from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced green chiles until well mixed.
  5. Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the biscuit dough package and peel each biscuit in half to create 16 individual pieces of dough.
  6. Fill Dough: Spoon the egg mixture evenly into the center of each piece of biscuit dough.
  7. Shape Bites: Fold the edges of each dough piece over the filling and roll into a ball, sealing the edges tightly to prevent leaking during cooking.
  8. Make Maple Butter: Stir together the melted butter and maple syrup until combined.
  9. Arrange Bites: Place the biscuit balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them to allow air circulation. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
  10. Brush with Maple Butter: Brush the tops of the biscuit balls generously with the maple butter mixture for added flavor and a golden finish.
  11. Air Fry Bites: Air fry the bites at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 6 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked through.
  12. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve the breakfast bites hot for a delicious, convenient meal.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the eggs in the skillet since they will continue cooking inside the biscuit during air frying.
  • Ensure the dough edges are sealed tightly around the filling to prevent leaks during air frying.
  • You can swap cheddar for other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for variation.
  • These bites can be made ahead and reheated in the air fryer for a quick breakfast.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model and size of bites.
