Cooked to perfection in the air fryer, they come out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, making them an irresistible treat that’s sure earn a spot in your recipe repertoire.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can scale up as needed. You can meal prep them ahead of time, or cook up a batch to serve on the weekend. You can also mix and match the fillings as you’d like – add tomato, sautéed mushroom, or chopped bell pepper for added flavor.
