Things don't always need to be ??? ??fancy. Sometimes you just shove ham and cheese inside of a biscuit and air fry it. And it's delicious.
That's the viral TikTok recipe from @blind_momofboys that I tested this week for Mashable's AirFryDay. And it was good! Because what could be bad about a ham and cheese biscuit? It's salty, melty goodness tucked inside of buttery carbs. It's a perfect lunch for kids or a delicious midnight snack.
Sure, it's not gourmet, but here's what you need to know to make it.

The details
This is not difficult. It's making a little ham and cheese pocket. Here's how @blind_momofboys' process looked.

There's ham and cheese in there. Credit: Screenshot: TikTok/@blind_momofboys Legitimately, the most difficult part for me was opening the biscuit tube. I can never get those damn things open.
Other than that it's remarkably straightforward. The ham and cheese is pre-cooked. The biscuit air fries for just ten minutes. And in the end you have a homemade, hot-pockety bite that's tasty in a way that's almost shameful. Processed cheese and ham inside of a tubed biscuit shouldn't taste this good, and yet it does. The original TikTok has racked up 6 million views, so clearly people like it.
Here's what my result looked like.
