Air Fryer Beef & Cheese Stuffed Brioche Buns

By Esther Lackie

These Air Fryer Beef & Cheese Stuffed Brioche Buns are a simple way to use my Easy Minced Beef Filling. Fresh ready made brioche buns are hollowed out, filled with the cooked beef, covered with mozzarella and air fried until the cheese melts. A little fresh coriander and green chilli sauce finish them off.

Ingredients

  • 4 fresh ready made brioche buns
  • Easy Minced Beef Filling, approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons per bun
  • Mozzarella cheese, enough to cover the top of each bun
  • Fresh coriander, for garnish
  • Green chilli sauce, to finish

Method

  1. 01

    Prepare the brioche buns: cut approximately the top quarter from each brioche bun, then scoop out some of the soft bread from the centre to create a hollow for the filling.

    Finish: once cooked and the mozzarella has melted, garnish with fresh coriander and finish with a little green chilli sauce.

The 17 minute total covers preparing, assembling and air frying the buns. It doesn't include the time needed to make the Easy Minced Beef Filling.

Lackie's Notes

Make sure the minced beef filling is already cooked before you assemble the buns, as the air fryer is only warming it through and melting the cheese.

I cooked these in my COSORI Dual Blaze without preheating and didn't flip them. Air fryers vary, so keep an eye on yours towards the end. If you're wondering about preheating, have a look at Do You Need to Preheat an Air Fryer?
