Air Fryer Crumpets
Description
The cooking method involves whisking a large egg and dipping two crumpets to fully soak in the egg mixture, which adds moisture and protein. They are then air fried at 180°C (350°F) for two minutes to start cooking the egg and crisp the outside. After this initial cooking, mature grated cheddar cheese is sprinkled over the crumpets, and they return to the air fryer for an additional two minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and brown slightly. The result is crumpets that retain some softness while gaining a firmer, crispy outer layer and a gooey cheese topping. The use of mature cheddar provides a more pronounced flavor compared to milder cheeses.
To serve, the crumpets can be eaten warm as a snack or breakfast treat. Their compact size and easy preparation make them convenient for casual meals. The crispy yet soft texture contrasts nicely with the melted cheese topping, making them satisfying and flavorful.
Notes emphasize using shredded cheddar rather than pre-grated to ensure better melting and avoiding clumping. Care is needed to space crumpets in the air fryer to allow adequate air circulation. For a deeper golden brown color, the cooking time can be extended slightly. Reduced fat cheddar can be used for a lighter version without sacrificing much taste.
