Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Breakfast Pinwheels

Here are the simple ingredients, you will need for an easy breakfast!

• Crescent Dough
• Cooked Bacon
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese

How To Make Air Fryer Breakfast Pinwheels

Here are the step-by-step directions for making a batch!

Start by unrolling the crescent rounds, which makes it much easier since they are already pre-cut for you.

Sprinkle your cheese on top. Then cup up the cooked bacon and sprinkle it on top.

As you roll them up (it’s easier to roll them up individually), place them on a greased air fryer tray or in the basket.

Air Fryer at 330 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 5 minutes. Check the bottom to make sure they are fully cooked; if they aren’t, flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes.

Air Fryer Breakfast Pinwheels Recipe Tips

• Pre-cook Fillings: If using ingredients like bacon, sausage, or vegetables, pre-cook them before adding to the pinwheels.
• Spread Evenly: Spread your fillings evenly over the dough to make sure each pinwheel has a balanced flavor and texture.
• Roll Tightly: Roll the dough tightly but gently to ensure the pinwheels hold their shape.
• Use a Sharp Knife: Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into even pinwheels.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Air Fryer: Place the pinwheels in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one for even air circulation.
• Check Halfway: Check the pinwheels halfway through cooking and rotate them if needed.
• Adjust Cooking Time: Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of your pinwheels.
• Serve Fresh: Serve the pinwheels immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.
• Customize Fillings: Feel free to customize the fillings to your liking. Options like cheese, ham, spinach, or scrambled eggs work well.
• Use Parchment Paper: For easy cleanup and to prevent sticking, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or use a parchment paper liner.
