Expert Tips

  • My number one tip for a delicious brunch is to focus on fresh, quality ingredients to make each dish shine.
  • I like to offer plenty of variety and serve a mix of sweet and savory foods.
  • I always include a selection of condiments to complement the menu, like honey, butter, and jams or preserves.
  • To create a special ambiance, I like to decorate with nice tableware, linen napkins, and fresh flowers. You can also add a personal touch like family photos or a playlist of your mom’s favorite music.

Ingredients  

  • 8 slices bacon

Instructions 

  • First, place the bacon strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If you have a smaller air fryer, cut strips in half to fit well.
  • Air fry bacon at 350˚F for 7-9 minutes, or until bacon is browned and reaches desired crispiness. Check it halfway through and rearrange slices with tongs if necessary.
  • Place cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Then, add more bacon strips if you are cooking bacon in batches. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Avoid overcooking the bacon as it will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  • Make sure to not overlap the bacon so they cook evenly.
  • Between batches, empty any grease in the air fryer basket to avoid the air fryer smoking.
