Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 mini bagels, halved
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, freshly grated
- Mini pepperoni slices, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Bagels: Spread pizza sauce evenly on each halved mini bagel, then sprinkle with freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Top each with mini pepperoni slices to your liking.
- Air Fry the Bagel Bites: Place the prepared bagel halves in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 4 minutes or until the cheese has melted nicely and the bagels are warmed through.
- Repeat if Necessary: If cooking in batches, repeat the air frying process with remaining bagel halves to ensure all are evenly heated and melted.
Notes
- TO STORE: Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days, stored in an airtight container.
- TO FREEZE: Bagel bites freeze well; keep them in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to three months.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat air fryer bagel bites in a preheated air fryer at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- VARIATIONS: Try different base sauces like pesto, BBQ, basil, or ranch dressing instead of pizza sauce.
- VARIATIONS: Make cheesy bagel bites using a mixture of mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, goat, or cheddar cheese for a four-cheese blend.
- VARIATIONS: For a sweet twist, try toppings like cream cheese, almond butter, strawberry jam, banana slices, and Nutella.
