How do I make the Air Fryer Bacon and Egg Pockets?
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you will likely need to prepare the breakfast pockets in a few batches. Here is what you will need to do to make them.
Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry
With each pastry sheet still folded, cut in half. Then, open the pastry sheet and cut each half into 3, cutting along the crease. In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with a teaspoon of water. Brush the egg mixture on top of each pastry rectangle to coat it.
Step 2: Air Fry the Pastry
Place as many pastry rectangles as you can in fit your air fryer, taking care to not overcrowd them, so the air can flow properly. Cook at 380 degrees for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and repeat the process until all pastries are cooked. Then, Allow puff pastry to cool for a few minutes.
Step 3: Cut the Squares
Using a sharp knife, cut a square within the pastry, leaving a ½ inch to ¾ inch border. With your fingers, push the square down into the pastry to create a pocket.
Step 4: Add the Bacon, Egg and Cheese and Cook
Transfer your pastry back to your air fryer. Then, break an egg and pour it into the square pocket without breaking the yolk. Top with shredded cheese and bacon. Cook at 380 degrees for 5 minutes, or until the egg white is cooked through. Remove and top with chopped green onion, parsley, salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy!
