Indulge in these air fryer beef wellington bites, filled with savory blue cheese and bacon. A perfect comfort food treat!
Ingredients
- • beef tenderloin: 1 pound, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • blue cheese: 1/2 cup, crumbled
- • bacon: 6 slices, cooked and crumbled
- • puff pastry sheets: 2, thawed
- • dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons
- • egg: 1, beaten
- • salt: to taste
- • black pepper: to taste
- • fresh thyme: 1 tablespoon, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 Season the beef tenderloin cubes with salt and black pepper. Sear them in a hot pan for about 2 minutes on each side until browned. Let them rest for a few minutes.
- 3 Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 6 equal squares.
- 4 Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each pastry square. Place a beef cube in the center, top with a sprinkle of blue cheese, bacon crumbles, and a pinch of fresh thyme.
- 5 Fold the corners of the pastry over the beef and pinch the edges to seal, forming a neat parcel. Brush each parcel with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- 6 Arrange the parcels in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- 7 Let them cool slightly before serving, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these indulgent Beef Wellington Bites with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad to balance the richness. For a beverage pairing, consider a robust red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a classic Old-Fashioned cocktail, which complements the savory flavors beautifully. A drizzle of balsamic reduction on the side can add an extra layer of flavor if desired.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, place the cooled Beef Wellington Bites in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure they remain crispy and delicious.
