Air Fryer Breakfast Burrito

February 27, 2023 Amanda Plott

This tasty breakfast burrito has been my staple breakfast for a week now so I just had to share it. Usually when I make breakfast burritos the tortilla can end up a bit soggy or wet with all the good stuff I pile into it - namely the fresh pico and cheese. I recently decided to try and put it in the air fryer once it’s all together so that it could, in theory, end up with a slightly firmer outside and an even more gooey cheesy inside. And that’s exactly what I ended up with.

This Air Fryer Breakfast Burrito is as loaded as they come. Bacon, eggs, cheese, pico, jalapeño - oh my! I lightened it up by going with a super low calorie whole wheat and flax tortilla and was anything other than disappointed. I also used pre cooked and crumbled bacon so that I could use less bacon but still get some in every bite…

Air Fryer S'mores

February 17, 2023 Amanda Plott

It’s true. You don’t need a campfire to make a s’more! You can make a s’more in the comfort of your home with the same basic ingredients and an air fryer. One of the best parts is that you can have several of them done at the same time with no fussing around with sticks! Being as s’mores only require a whopping three ingredients, there isn’t much to make better-for-you here outside of the chocolate and graham crackers.

I went with a low fat graham and you can definitely swap in some dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate here too. Outside of that? A s’more is a s’more…

Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli

February 11, 2023 Amanda Plott

These Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli are not only easy to make, but they’re pretty damn good too! I took some refrigerated raviolis that happened to be on theme this month, and I decided to see if air frying them would get the same effect as frying or toasting would. And it absolutely does! The ravioli turn out crisp on the outside and melty cheesy on the inside. Perfect for dipping and dunking into your favorite pasta sauce.

They can be served as a pain part of dinner or as a side, snack, or hot appetizer. I lightened them up by using a whole wheat bread crumb and of course by using the air fryer rather than deep frying. I found too, by seasoning the egg mixture rather than the crumb mixture you get a lot more even seasoning and the seasoning is locked in with the breadcrumbs!…

Air Fried Stuffed Mushrooms

January 4, 2023 Amanda Plott

These Air Fried Stuffed Mushrooms are really just another way to cook stuffed mushrooms. I’m just being honest here. It doesn’t change their taste at all, but it DOES change their texture. Usually when I bake my stuffed mushrooms they end up a little bit soggy on the bottom from cooking in their own water as it releasing in the cooking process. These, however, don’t end up that way!

It helped too to top these off with some grated parmesan which gave a little bit of a crunch factor to the tops of these stuffed mushrooms. They’re completely loaded with cheesy goodness too. Cream cheese, cheddar, and of course the parmesan. There’s even some bacon in there for extra yum…

Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

December 1, 2022 Amanda Plott

After the rush that was last week, I've kept it pretty simple this week. And nothing is more simple than a grilled cheese. This Air Fryer Grilled Cheese takes it a step further, leaving you making the famous American sandwich hands free in the air fryer. The best part is that you get a perfectly crisp toast on the outside and an ooey-gooey melted cheese on the inside. You truly can’t go wrong here.

There isn’t a whole lot here to healthify or make better-for-you while also keeping with the classic. I started this sandwich off with Texas toast, because there’s no other way to have the sandwich if you’re aiming for traditional. But, you could definitely swap the bread out for something whole wheat or sprouted grain. Today though? I want CLASSIC…

Air Fryer Breakfast Egg Rolls

November 28, 2022 Amanda Plott

Who doesn’t like a fun take on breakfast? These Air Fryer Breakfast Egg Rolls are all your favorite parts of breakfast rolled up and air fried to perfection. Bacon, sausage, egg, cheese - like I said, all the things you know and love about breakfast in one bite! I’ve made something similar to these before, but it included some gravy for dipping and I really wanted these to be able to stand alone as well as be more of a grab-and-go thing.

These end up super crispy and actually reheat pretty well if you make them ahead of time. You can just pop them in a toaster oven to reheat and eat. If you have any leftover that is…
