Bagel Bites Ingredients
- 4 mini bagels halved
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese freshly grated
- Mini pepperoni for topping (about 12 pieces)
Instructions
- Prepare Bagels: Spread pizza sauce evenly on each halved mini bagel, sprinkle generously with freshly grated mozzarella cheese, and top each with mini pepperoni slices.
- Air Fry: Place the prepared bagel halves in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 180C/350F for 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Repeat if Needed: If cooking in batches, repeat the process until all bagel bites are cooked. Serve warm.
Notes
- TO STORE: Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- TO FREEZE: Air fryer bagel bites freeze well. Store them in the freezer for up to three months.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat in a preheated air fryer at 350F for 3-4 minutes until warmed through.
- Variations: Use different base sauces like pesto, BBQ, basil, or ranch dressing instead of traditional pizza sauce.
- Cheesy Option: Try a blend of mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, goat, or cheddar cheese for a 4-cheese bagel bite.
- Sweet Option: Make dessert-style bagel bites with cream cheese, almond butter, strawberry jam, banana, or Nutella.
