Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: Bacon 5–6 minutes, Muffins 3–5 minutes
Total Time: 13–16 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 strips of turkey bacon, cut in half crosswise
- 2 whole-grain English muffins, split
- 1 cup of fresh baby spinach, long stems removed
- ¼ ripe pear, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 slices of Provolone cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Begin by placing the strips of turkey bacon in the air fryer basket. Cook them for 2 minutes, ensuring to check and separate the strips if needed for even cooking. Continue to cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the bacon turns delightfully crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon strips to a paper towel to drain.
- Now, it’s time to give your English muffins a warm and inviting toast. Place the split muffin halves in the air fryer basket and cook them at 390°F for about 2 minutes. Your goal here is a gentle browning that sets the stage for the rest of the flavors.
- With the toasted muffins ready, open up the air fryer and get creative. Begin by topping each muffin half with a quarter of the fresh baby spinach. Follow this with several delicate slices of ripe pear, a strip of your crisped turkey bacon, and a slice of the rich Provolone cheese.
- Now, set the air fryer to 360°F and let the magic happen for 1 to 2 more minutes. Watch as the cheese beautifully melts over the toppings, uniting all the flavors into a perfect harmony.
