Bagel Bites
- 4 mini bagels, halved
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, freshly grated
- Mini pepperoni, quantity as desired
Instructions
- Prepare Bagels: Spread pizza sauce evenly on each bagel half. Sprinkle freshly grated mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then top with mini pepperoni slices.
- Air Fry: Place the prepared bagel halves in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 4 minutes or until the cheese melts and bubbles nicely.
- Repeat if Needed: If cooking in batches, repeat the air frying process for remaining bagels until all are heated through and cheese is melted perfectly.
Notes
- To store leftovers, keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- To freeze, place bagel bites in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to three months.
- To reheat, preheat the air fryer and cook bagel bites for 3-4 minutes until warmed through.
- Try different base sauces like pesto, BBQ, basil, or ranch for variety.
- Make cheesy bagel bites with a blend of mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, goat, or cheddar cheese.
- For dessert-style bagel bites, use cream cheese, almond butter, strawberry jam, banana, and Nutella as toppings.
