→ Filling Ingredients
01 -
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
02 -
1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
03 -
6 large eggs, beaten
04 -
1 teaspoon salt
05 -
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
06 -
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
07 -
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
→ Pastry Base
08 -
1 can (8 count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits
09 -
Non-stick cooking spray
→ Seasoned Butter Topping
10 -
¼ cup butter, melted
11 -
½ teaspoon onion powder
12 -
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they're soft and translucent.
02 -
Add the beaten eggs to the skillet with onions. Gently pull the eggs across the pan with a spatula as they cook, repeating until no liquid egg remains. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool.
03 -
Remove biscuits from the can and place on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness, creating larger circles.
04 -
Evenly distribute the cooled egg mixture on half of each flattened biscuit, leaving space around the edges. Top each with ¼ cup shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
05 -
Wet your finger with water and run it around the rim of each biscuit. Fold into a half-moon shape and press the edges with a fork to create a tight seal.
06 -
Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray. Working in batches, place the hand pies in the basket and spray the tops. Air fry at 360°F for 5 minutes.
07 -
Carefully flip the hand pies over and air fry for another 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
08 -
While the hand pies cook, mix the melted butter with onion powder and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
09 -
Remove hand pies and brush with the seasoned butter mixture. Return to air fryer for 1 more minute to set the butter coating.
10 -
Remove from air fryer and serve immediately while hot and crispy. Great with ketchup, salsa, or hot sauce on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Cook bacon ahead of time and let it cool before crumbling
02 -
Make sure the egg mixture cools before filling to prevent melting the biscuit dough
03 -
Work in batches if your air fryer basket is small - don't overcrowd
04 -
The seasoned butter topping adds amazing flavor and helps achieve a golden finish
