Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Pinwheels

How To Make Air Fryer Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Pinwheels

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.

What Type of Bacon to Use For Pinwheels
I used a simple black pepper-crusted bacon today, but you can use anything you want. Some of my favorites for this recipe are:

Can I Change Out The Type of Cheese in Air Fryer Pinwheels
Yes, today, I used simple cheddar cheese, shredded that I had in my refrigerator, but anything would work here,
Some of my favorites are:

Do Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Pinwheels Store Well?
Ever tried to make a bacon and cheese breakfast pinwheel? They are so tasty, but I’m wondering: do they store well? It’s easy enough to cook them fresh in the morning for your family. But if you’re trying to send one with your kids for lunch at school or breakfast, you can easily make these the night before, place them into an airtight container, and put them into the refrigerator.
Reheat them in the morning in either the air fryer or microwave!
