Description
Breakfast Hand Pies Bacon Egg are delicious portable pastries filled with a savory mixture of eggs, bacon, and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 100 grams sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- 1 can (about 340 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- Nonstick spray or additional vegetable oil for the air fryer
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil over medium heat and cook diced onion for 5 minutes, stirring often until soft and translucent.
- Pour beaten eggs over onions and cook gently, stirring frequently to create large, soft curds. Cook until just set and no liquid remains. Season with salt and pepper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit dough piece into a round approximately 3 mm thick.
- Spoon a portion of the egg and onion mixture onto the center of each dough round. Top with shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon, keeping edges clear.
- Lightly moisten the edges of each round with water, fold into a half moon, and press to seal. Crimp edges with a fork for a secure closure.
- Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Arrange hand pies in a single layer with space between each. Mist tops lightly with spray.
- Air fry at 180°C for 5 minutes. Flip each pie, then cook for an additional 4 minutes until golden and crisp. Cook in batches if necessary.
- While pies cook, melt butter and stir in onion powder and dried parsley.
- When pies are cooked through and golden, brush immediately with seasoned melted butter. Air fry for 1 additional minute to set flavors. Serve warm, accompanied by optional ketchup or salsa.
Notes
- Ensure the edges are sealed well to avoid filling leakage.
- Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before cooking.
- Pairs well with ketchup or salsa for dipping.
