Ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury Grand Flaky Biscuits
- Colby Jack cheese slices (or any cheese of your preference)
- Smoked ham slices
- 1 egg
- Spices of your choice (such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika)
- Melted butter (optional, for brushing)
- Cooking spray, for greasing
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Separate the biscuits into individual rounds.
- Cut the Colby Jack cheese into small slices or cubes, and cut the smoked ham slices into pieces that will fit inside the biscuits.
2. Stuff the Biscuits:
- Flatten each biscuit round slightly with your hands.
- Place a slice of Colby Jack cheese and a piece of smoked ham onto the center of each biscuit round.
- Fold the biscuit over the cheese and ham, pinching the edges to seal the filling inside. Roll it into a ball shape to make a biscuit bomb.
3. Prepare the Egg Wash:
- In a bowl, beat the egg and add your desired spices. Mix well.
4. Coat and Air Fry:
- Dip each stuffed biscuit bomb into the egg wash, coating it thoroughly.
- Place the coated biscuit bombs in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully flip the biscuit bombs and air fry for an additional 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Optional Butter Brushing:
- If desired, brush the hot biscuit bombs with melted butter immediately after taking them out of the air fryer. This adds extra flavor and a nice shine to the biscuits.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the cheesy ham-stuffed biscuit bombs cool for a minute or two before serving.
- These biscuit bombs are perfect for toddlers and can be served as a tasty snack or a quick meal. Enjoy them on their own or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce!
Optional Tips:
- Experiment with different cheeses and fillings, such as cheddar cheese, bacon, or even vegetables, to create a variety of flavors.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these biscuit bombs in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Encourage your toddler to participate in the cooking process by helping with the stuffing and sealing of the biscuit bombs (under adult supervision). It can be a fun and interactive kitchen activity!
