- 4 mini bagels halved
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese freshly grated
- Mini pepperoni slices (amount as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bagels: Spread pizza sauce evenly on each halved mini bagel to create a flavorful base.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle freshly grated mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce, then add mini pepperoni slices to each bagel half.
- Air Fry the Bagel Bites: Place the prepared bagel halves in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded, and air fry at 180C/350F for 4 minutes or until the cheese has melted beautifully.
- Repeat if Necessary: If you have more bagel halves than fit in the basket, repeat the air frying process until all bagel bites are cooked.
Notes
- TO STORE: Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- TO FREEZE: Air fryer bagel bites freeze well and can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat in a preheated air fryer at 180C/350F for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- VARIATIONS: Use different base sauces such as pesto, BBQ, basil, or ranch dressing for varied flavors.
- VARIATIONS: Create cheesy bagel bites using a mix of mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, goat, or cheddar cheese instead of just mozzarella.
- VARIATIONS: For a dessert option, top with cream cheese, almond butter, strawberry jam, banana, and Nutella.
