Indulge in crispy, cheesy beef & brie bombs with a Cajun kick, made effortlessly in your air fryer. A flavor-packed comfort food explosion!
Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 pound
- • Brie cheese: 6 ounces, cut into cubes
- • Puff pastry sheets: 2, thawed
- • Cajun seasoning: 2 tablespoons
- • Onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
- • Salt: to taste
- • Pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- 3 Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat, if necessary.
- 4 Stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper, mixing well to coat the beef evenly. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- 5 Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
- 6 Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef mixture and a cube of brie cheese in the center of each pastry square.
- 7 Fold the corners of each square over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal and form a ball.
- 8 Brush each ball with the beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.
- 9 Place the beef & brie bombs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching, and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
- 10 Let them cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly for the perfect gooey interior.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these Cajun-Spiced Beef & Brie Bombs with a side of tangy, spicy remoulade sauce for dipping to enhance the Cajun flair. For a complete indulgent meal, pair them with a fresh, crisp coleslaw to balance the richness. A frosty mug of your favorite craft beer or a glass of chilled white wine makes an excellent accompaniment, highlighting the creamy brie and robust spices. For a party platter, arrange them on a bed of mixed greens with a sprinkle of chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor contrast. These bombs are versatile and pair beautifully with both bold and refreshing sides.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until heated through and the pastry is crisp again. Avoid microwaving as it can make the pastry soggy.
