Enhanced with garlic-herb butter, melted sharp cheddar cheese, and a drizzle of honey, they offer a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors in just 13 minutes.
Ingredients
Frozen Biscuits
- 8 frozen drop-style biscuits (8-count can)
Garlic-Herb Butter
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Toppings
- 2 tbsp shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Arrange the biscuits: Place the frozen biscuits flat-side down in your air fryer basket, ensuring there is at least 1 inch of space between each biscuit. This spacing allows hot air to circulate freely around the biscuits, ensuring even browning.
- Start air frying: Set the air fryer temperature to 350°F (175°C) and cook the biscuits for 6 minutes without preheating. This approach helps maintain tender centers while creating a crisp crust on the edges.
- Rotate for even cooking: At the 3-minute mark, carefully remove the basket and rotate it to expose each biscuit to uniform airflow, promoting consistent browning.
- Flip and brush with butter: After 6 minutes, use tongs to gently flip each biscuit. Generously brush the tops with the prepared garlic-herb butter mixture to boost savory flavor and crispness.
- Add cheese and finish air frying: Evenly sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese over each buttered biscuit. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 minutes at 350°F until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve with honey and parsley: Transfer the hot biscuits to a plate, drizzle with honey for a sweet contrast, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Ensure biscuits have enough space in the air fryer basket for even cooking and browning.
- Do not preheat the air fryer to keep the interior of the biscuits tender.
- Use tongs gently when flipping biscuits to prevent tearing or crushing.
- The honey drizzle adds sweetness that balances the savory garlic butter and cheddar cheese.
- Fresh parsley adds a burst of color and a mild herbaceous note to the finished dish.
