Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket
When cooking frozen breakfast sandwiches in an air fryer, it's important not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. This is because overcrowding can affect how evenly the sandwiches cook, and you may find that the bread isn't toasted or the cheese isn't melted. It's best to cook the sandwiches in batches if you're making a large number, and you may find that the following batches cook a little quicker.
If you're cooking a biscuit-based sandwich, place the biscuit side down in the air fryer basket and air fry at 340ºF for 6 minutes. Reassemble the sandwich and air fry for another 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. If you're cooking a bread-based sandwich, separate the two halves so that the meat and egg are facing upwards, and the bread is bread side down. Air fry at 340°F/170°C for 6-8 minutes, then reassemble the sandwich and continue to air fry for another 2-5 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and golden.
It's worth noting that cooking times may vary depending on the type of air fryer you have. If you're using a larger air fryer, your sandwiches may cook quicker, so keep an eye on them and adjust the cooking time as needed.
