Tips
Don't overcrowd the basket; biscuits need space to cook evenly and prevent sticking together during air frying.
Cool biscuits for 1-2 minutes after cooking before topping to prevent eggs from sliding off and allow you to handle them comfortably.
Good to Know
Assembled biscuits best served immediately. Leftover cooked biscuits can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated briefly in the air fryer.
Cook biscuits and bacon up to 2 days ahead. Store separately in airtight containers. Prepare scrambled eggs no more than 4 hours ahead. Assemble just before serving.
Serve warm immediately after assembly. Accompany with jam, honey, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
Common Mistakes
Overcrowd the basket to avoid uneven cooking and sticking
Skip the flip to avoid one side cooking faster than the other
Assemble too early to avoid soggy biscuits from egg moisture

FAQ
Can I use fresh biscuits instead of frozen?
Yes, but fresh biscuits may cook faster. Check around 4 minutes and monitor closely. You may need to reduce cooking time by 1-2 minutes total depending on thickness.
What if my biscuits stick together?
Ensure adequate spacing between each biscuit on the basket. Use parchment paper cut to size or a rack insert to prevent sticking and allow air circulation.
Can I prepare these ahead and reheat?
Yes, cook everything separately and assemble fresh. Reheat biscuits at 320F for 2-3 minutes. Store components separately for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
