Ingredients for Air Fryer Bread Samosas

To make 8 Air Fryer Bread Samosas, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 8 slices of white bread: Soft and fresh, these will serve as the samosa wrappers.
• 2 eggs: For the scrambled egg filling.
• 1/4 cup grated cheese: Cheddar or any cheese of your choice that melts well.
• Aromat: A popular seasoning for added flavour in the scrambled eggs.
• Butter or margarine: Optional, for brushing the samosas before air frying.
• Water: For sealing the edges of the bread.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Scrambled Eggs

• Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl and whisking them until well combined.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
• Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and scramble them gently, stirring continuously until they are cooked but still soft. You don’t want the eggs to be too dry.
• Season the scrambled eggs with Aromat to taste. The amount can vary based on your preference, but a light sprinkle should be enough to enhance the flavour without overpowering the dish.
• Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat and set them aside to cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Bread Slices

• Take each slice of white bread and cut off the crusts to create neat, square slices.
• Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until it’s thin and pliable. This will make it easier to shape the bread into samosas and help achieve a crispier texture when air-fried.

3. Assemble the Samosas

• Place a small portion of the scrambled eggs onto the centre of each flattened bread slice.
• Add a small amount of grated cheese on top of the scrambled eggs. The cheese will melt during cooking and create a gooey, delicious filling.
• To fold the bread into a samosa shape, start by bringing one corner of the bread slice to the centre, forming a triangle. Then, fold the opposite corner over to enclose the filling completely.
• Seal the edges of the samosa by pressing down gently and using a little water to help the bread stick together. Ensure that the edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.
• Repeat this process for all the bread slices.

4. Air Fry the Samosas

• Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 3 minutes.
• If desired, brush the outside of each samosa with a little butter or margarine to enhance the golden, crispy texture.
• Place the samosas in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
• Air fry the samosas for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.

5. Serve and Enjoy

• Once the samosas are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
• These Air Fryer Bread Samosas are best enjoyed warm, with the cheese still melty and the exterior nice and crispy.
• Serve with your favourite dipping sauces, such as tomato ketchup, chutney, or a spicy dip, for an extra burst of flavour.

Tips for Perfect Bread Samosas

• Experiment with fillings: While cheese and scrambled eggs are a delicious combination, you can also try other fillings such as spiced potatoes, chicken, or even a sweet version with chocolate spread.
• Use fresh bread: Fresh bread is easier to flatten and shape without tearing. If your bread is slightly stale, you can lightly steam it or microwave it for a few seconds to make it more pliable.
• Don’t overfill: Avoid overfilling the bread slices, as this can make it difficult to seal the samosas properly and may cause the filling to spill out during cooking.

These Air Fryer Bread Samosas are a delightful and creative way to enjoy a classic snack in a healthier, fuss-free manner.
