Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
100 grams sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 can (about 340 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Nonstick spray or additional vegetable oil for air fryer
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil over medium heat and cook diced onion for 5 minutes, stirring often until soft and translucent.
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.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit dough piece into a round approximately 3 mm thick.
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.
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.
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Arrange hand pies in a single layer with space between each. Mist tops lightly with spray.
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.
While pies cook, melt butter and stir in onion powder and dried parsley.
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.
Notes
Ensure the edges of dough are sealed well to prevent filling leakage.
Customize the filling with your favorite vegetables or cheese.
Leftover hand pies can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the air fryer.
