How to Make Air Fryer Bacon Puff Pastry Rolls
Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry
Unroll the puff pastry and place it flat on a clean work surface. Arrange bacon slices evenly over the entire surface of the pastry.
Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the bacon.
Step 2: Add the Filling
Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the pastry. Add the chopped green onions and grated boiled eggs.
Season everything with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
Step 3: Roll the Pastry
Whisk one egg in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg.
Carefully roll the pastry into a tight log. Pinch the edges as you roll and seal the ends well so the filling stays inside.
Step 4: Slice the Rolls
Using a sharp knife, slice the pastry roll into rounds approximately 2 cm thick.
Place the slices into a parchment-lined air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each roll for proper air circulation.
Step 5: Air Fry
Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining beaten egg.
Air fry at 170°C (340°F) for approximately 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Keep an eye on them during the final few minutes because air fryer cooking times can vary between models.
Step 6: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
While the rolls are cooking, prepare the sauce.
Combine grated pickled cucumber, grated garlic, sour cream, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Mix well until creamy and evenly combined.
Step 7: Serve
Remove the golden bacon rolls from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly.
Serve the Air Fryer Bacon Puff Pastry Rolls warm with the creamy garlic sauce.
