    2
  • bacon
    2 slice
  • cheddar cheese
    1 slice

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your air fryer to 400°F

  2. 2

    (Optional) To add cheese, use a sharp knife to cut a slit in the center of the brat, about ¼” from the ends and around halfway through the sausage. Stuff cheese into the cut, then press the sausage around to cover it

  3. 3

    Start with the thicker end of the bacon and wrap it around the sausage with just enough overlap on the wrap to hold it in place. Tuck the small end under to secure when you finish

  4. 4

    Place the bacon wrapped brats into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer

  5. 5

    Cook on the air fry setting for 15 minutes at 400°F, pausing halfway through to flip them

  6. 6

    Brats are done when the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Add additional time if needed to achieve this, or if you’d like even crispier bacon

  7. 7

    Serve on brat buns with your favorite sides
