If you’re only using your air fryer to whip up awesome party snacks, you’re missing out. Pull it out in the morning to make these hearty breakfast bombs filled with bacon, egg, and cheese. Whole-wheat pizza dough encases the savory filling in a nice fiber-packed crust. Substitute regular pizza dough if you can’t track down whole-wheat dough. Like it spicy? Add a dash or two of hot sauce to the filling before baking. In a rush? These palm-sized “bombs” make a great on-the-go breakfast.

Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface into a 5-inch circle. Place one-fourth of egg mixture in center of each dough circle. Brush outside edge of dough with water; wrap dough around egg mixture to form a purse, pinching together dough at the seams.
Step 3
Place dough purses in single layer in air fryer basket; coat well with cooking spray. Cook at 350°F until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes, checking after 4 minutes.

This is hilarious. I hate it when people review a recipe after making lots of changes, but here I am. I don't have an air fryer so I decided on using my muffin pan and the oven. I use crescent rolls in the muffin pans, draping over the sides for making purses. I used a poblano pepper and a couple of hot chiles which I sautéed first. I also added two slices of pepperonis to each one. shredded cheese and then the pepper/egg mixture on top. They came out gorgeous, delicious and a bit of heat, just like I was going for. 10 seconds in the microwave and I'm off to go fishing and eating this to-go breakfast on the water. But as my wife would say, I didn't even make the recipe at all. I say it was inspired by this recipe and it gets a 5!
