Tip: Honey mustard pairs exceptionally well with the savory flavors of the bacon and chicken. - 3Stack and coat in egg wash
Carefully stack the three loaded slices of bread together to form a tall, multi-layered sandwichcite: 1. Once assembled, place the entire sandwich into a bowl of beaten egg wash, turning it to ensure all exterior sides are fully coatedcite: 1.

Place the egg-coated sandwich into an aluminum foil tray and set it in the air fryercite: 1. Cook at 170 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes, making sure to carefully flip the sandwich halfway through at the 6 to 7-minute mark to ensure even browning.
