    Biscuit bombs are a great way to start your day with a sumptuous breakfast that’s packed full of flavor yet super easy to make. Though we make them mostly on weekend mornings, you can make these any day of the week.

    These air fryer biscuit bombs were made using store bought refrigerated dough but you can easily make these with homemade biscuit dough, no yeast pizza dough or the internet famous whole 30 two ingredient dough aka Greek yogurt dough.

    We have more Pillsbury refrigerated dough recipes such as these air fryer Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and air fried Oreos.

    Ingredients

    • Refrigerated biscuit dough
    • eggs
    • Fully cooked sausage links (I used amylu breakfast chicken sausages)
    • Cheese
    • Butter

    How long to cook biscuit bombs in the air fryer

    It takes about 10 mins to cook breakfast bombs in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C). However you should bear in mind air fryers vary in how they cook food. Other factors include temperature at which food is cooked in the air fryer and if you preheated or not.

    The important thing is to use your discretion for recipes like this. Biscuit bombs are cooked when they are golden brown and the dough is no longer gooey for lack of the right description.

    How to air fry breakfast biscuit bombs

    This is an overview of the recipe with step by step photos. Scroll down to the end of this post for a printable recipe card with the amount of ingredients and full recipe instructions.

    Make the filling

    Break eggs, whisk and season with salt and black pepper. Next add butter to a saucepan on medium heat. Add the beaten eggs into the pan when the butter begins to melt.

    Stir eggs to scramble then add the cooked sausages to the scrambled eggs just before it sets. Let it cool completely before using

    When the filling has cooled down completely, open the Pillsbury biscuit dough to reveal the 8 biscuits dough.

    Roll out each dough to about 4 cm circle. Then fill with cheese and the sausage and egg.

    Bring the edges of the circle together to form a pouch then pinch to keep all the contents in place

    Place breakfast bombs in the air fryer basket Seam side down. Brush with melted butter. This will not only help brown and crisp up the dough, it will also prevent them from sticking together. Air fry at 350°F (180°C) for 8 mins first

    Then Flip over and continue to air fry for another 2 to 3 mins. Bring it out of the air fryer and let it stand for a minute before serving because it will be super hot.

    What to serve with this recipe

    • Fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced melon
    • A side of yogurt or cottage cheese
    • A hot cup of coffee or tea
    • Additional toppings, such as avocado, salsa, or hot sauce

    Variations

    Air fryer biscuits bombs can be varied based on their fillings. You could have breakfast biscuit bombs (savory) and dessert biscuit bombs (sweet)

    Bacon egg and cheese breakfast bombs: These breakfast bombs are filled with air fryer bacon bits, scrambled eggs and cheese.

    Egg and cheese biscuit bombs: filled with scrambled eggs and cheese.

    Ham and cheese biscuit bombs: filled with ham and cheese

    Pizza bombs: filled with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni

    S’mores bombs: Filled with chocolate and mini marshmallows

    Cherry bombs: filled with cherry pie filling

    Apple pie bombs: filled with apple pie filling

    How to store and reheat

    Let the biscuit bombs to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days

    My preferred method to reheat these is the air fryer. This will help retain the flaky exterior of the biscuit bombs. Place in the air fryer and air fry at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through

    Alternatively, microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until heated through

    Air frying Tips

    • No need to preheat the air fryer
    • I like to use flakey biscuit dough for this recipe however you can use the Pillsbury southern style or buttermilk biscuit dough for this.
    • Don't overfill the biscuit bombs, you will find it difficult to close and it will likely burst open during cooking.
    • Brushing the biscuit bombs with melted butter will help them brown and crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
    • I recommend using a parchment paper to line the air fryer basket to prevent the dough from sticking.

      Now these sound great. I wonder if you could make them ahead of time, and then wrap them to take camping and warm up over a campfire? Saving this recipe!
