Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Biscuits: 1 can of refrigerated flaky biscuits (8 count) or 8 homemade biscuits.
  • Eggs: 4–8 large eggs (1 per sandwich, or 2 for a heartier version).
  • Cheese: 8 slices of cheddar, American, Swiss, or pepper jack.
  • Breakfast meat (optional): 8 slices of bacon, 4 sausage patties, or thinly sliced ham.
  • Butter or oil spray: For lightly greasing the air fryer basket and brushing biscuit tops.
  • Salt and pepper: To season eggs and fillings.
  • Optional add-ins: Hot sauce, everything bagel seasoning, avocado slices, tomato, spinach, or caramelized onions.
  • Equipment: Air fryer, parchment liners (optional), small oven-safe ramekins or silicone molds for eggs.

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer: Set to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes. A warm basket helps biscuits rise and brown evenly.
  • Prepare the basket: Lightly spray the basket or use a perforated parchment liner. Avoid heavy greasing, which can cause soggy bottoms.
  • Cook the biscuits: Arrange biscuits in a single layer with space between them. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping once at the 6–7 minute mark if your model browns unevenly. They’re done when puffed and golden.
  • Make the eggs: While biscuits cook, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into lightly greased ramekins or silicone molds. Air fry at 300–320°F (150–160°C) for 6–8 minutes until just set. For folded eggs, pour a thin layer and fold in half when barely firm.
  • Cook the meat: If using bacon or sausage, air fry at 360–375°F (180–190°C). Bacon takes 6–9 minutes depending on thickness; sausage patties take 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway. Drain on paper towels.
  • Slice and butter: Split the biscuits. Optionally brush the cut sides with a little butter for extra flavor.
  • Assemble: Layer egg, cheese, and your chosen meat on the bottom half. Top with extras like avocado or spinach, then cap with the biscuit top.
  • Melt the cheese: Return assembled sandwiches to the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 1–2 minutes to warm through and melt the cheese without over-toasting.
  • Season and serve: Add a shake of hot sauce, everything seasoning, or freshly cracked pepper. Serve immediately.
