👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions (Air Fryer Method)
🔥 Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Preheating helps the sandwich cook evenly and come out perfectly crisp.
đź§Š Step 2: Partially Defrost the Sandwich
Remove the sandwich from the wrapper and wrap it in a paper towel. Microwave on defrost or low power for 60–90 seconds. This helps soften the center without overcooking the outside.
✅ Tip: Separate the sandwich into three parts—biscuit or muffin, egg, and meat—if possible.
🍳 Step 3: Air Fry It!
Place the separated parts of the sandwich in the air fryer basket (don’t stack them). Cook at 350°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
Cook longer if your air fryer is less powerful.
-
Add the cheese slice in the last 1–2 minutes so it melts without burning.
🥪 Step 4: Reassemble
Once everything is hot and golden brown, carefully put the sandwich back together. Let it rest for 1–2 minutes before eating—it’ll be hot!
🧡 Pro Tip: Add a dash of hot sauce or fresh greens like arugula or spinach before you close it up.
