- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the dough: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a round disk about 1/4 inch thick using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Fill the dough: Place a heaping tablespoon of the cheeseburger filling in the center of each flattened biscuit. Pull the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch together to seal, forming a ball.
- Egg wash: Brush each ball with the egg wash to ensure a golden-brown finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
Cooking Process
- Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the bombs: Arrange the prepared cheeseburger bombs in the air fryer basket, seam side down. Make sure they are not touching to allow for even cooking. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through. Rotate or shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve hot: These bombs are best enjoyed hot out of the air fryer.
- Dipping sauces: Offer a variety of dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, or a special burger sauce to enhance the flavor.
- Side dishes: Pair with a fresh salad, coleslaw, or some air-fried French fries for a complete meal.
Tips for Success
- Seal the dough well: Ensure the edges of the biscuit dough are tightly sealed around the filling to prevent any cheese from leaking out during cooking.
- Batch cooking: If you need to cook in batches, keep the cooked bombs warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) while you finish the remaining batches.
- Customizing: Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite burger toppings like sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños, or even a different type of cheese.
