How To Make Air Fryer Sausage Egg Cheese Toaster Strudel

Step One: Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.

Step Two: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble for about 1 minute. Add the chopped sausage and continue cooking, stirring gently. Once the eggs are fully cooked, sprinkle in the cheese and cook just until melted.

Step Three: Roll out one puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured cutting board. Use a pizza cutter to cut the sheet into six equal rectangular sections. Repeat the process with the second puff pastry sheet.

Step Four: Set the air fryer to 375°F on the air fryer setting. Preheat for 5 minutes while you assemble the strudels.

Step Five:  Place about 1/4 cup of the scrambled eggs and sausage in the center of each puff pastry rectangle. Leave about a fingertip-width of space around the edges. Wet your fingertip with water and trace along the edges of the dough to help seal the pastry. Lay a second puff pastry rectangle over the filling. Press gently along the edges with your fingertip, then use a fork to crimp and fully seal.

Step Six: Brush the tops of the assembled puff pastry strudels with melted butter. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over each strudel.

Step Seven: Cook at 375°F for 6–7 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy. Place the strudels in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air Fryer Sausage Egg Cheese Toaster Strudel Recipe Tips

• Don’t overfill the pastry: Leaving a little space around the edges prevents the filling from leaking during cooking.
• Seal the edges well: Use water and a fork to crimp the edges so the strudel stays intact.
• Preheat the air fryer: Ensures the strudels cook evenly and get crispy all around.
• Brush with butter: Brushing the tops adds flavor and helps the everything bagel seasoning stick.
• Cook in a single layer: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to maintain crispiness.
• Customizable fillings: Swap sausage for bacon, add veggies, or use different cheeses to suit your taste.
• Check for golden color: Cooking times vary slightly by air fryer model, so watch for golden brown pastry.

Storing Instructions

• Room Temperature: Let cooled strudels sit in an airtight container for up to 2 hours if serving soon.
• Refrigerator: Store fully cooked strudels in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes to restore crispiness.
• Freezer: Wrap unbaked, assembled strudels tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the air fryer cooking time.
• Avoid sogginess: Reheating in the air fryer keeps the pastry crispy, unlike microwaving which can make it soft.
