Notes

Storage: 
Cheeseburger Bombs will keep at room temperature for around 2 hours if you're serving them at a party, otherwise store leftovers in an airtight container or wrapped in foil in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Freeze completely cooled bombs on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, air fryer at 350°F for 4-5 minutes, or microwave in 20-30 second intervals (softest option). Bake straight from frozen, adding 5-7 extra minutes in the oven or about 8 minutes in the air fryer.
This is a great make-ahead recipe — assemble them completely, cover with plastic or foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to serve, brush on the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds before baking.
