Nonstick spray or additional vegetable oil
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Heat vegetable oil over medium heat and cook diced onion for 5 minutes, stirring often until soft and translucent.
02 -
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.
03 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit dough piece into a round approximately 3 mm thick.
04 -
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.
05 -
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.
06 -
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Arrange hand pies in a single layer with space between each. Mist tops lightly with spray.
07 -
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.
08 -
While pies cook, melt butter and stir in onion powder and dried parsley.
09 -
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.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and double the cheese or add sautéed vegetables such as spinach or peppers.
02 -
Ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
03 -
The recipe is freezer friendly and pies reheat very well in the air fryer for maximum crispness.
04 -
Customize with alternative cheeses like Swiss, Gouda, or Monterey Jack for varied flavor.
