Air fry at 190°C for 8 minutes until beginning to soften and colour.
Meanwhile, place the bacon into a heatproof dish.
Air fry for 4–5 minutes until lightly crisp.
Add the garlic, cream, cheddar, and mozzarella.
Stir thoroughly.
Add the roasted sprouts and mix gently until coated.
Return the dish to the air fryer.
Cook at 180°C for 8–10 minutes until bubbling around the edges and golden on top.
