When I found these pizza-flavored bagels at our local Ridley's store, I just had to try them. Through some trial and error, I figured out the perfect way to make them and I wanted to document it here for future reference, either for myself (so I don't have to keep "recreating the wheel" or for others who might want to try it). Enjoy!
*Note: If you can't find these specific bagels, this recipe would also work for any plain or savory bagel that you like.
Marsha's Air Fryer Pizza Bagels
Ingredients:
- 1 bagel, sliced in half
- pizza sauce
- toppings
- cheese
Directions:
- Place your sliced bagel on a microwave-safe plate and top each half with sauce, toppings and your cheese.
- Microwave for 1 minute to start to slightly melt the cheese.
- Placing the cheese over your toppings and melting it slightly in the microwave helps prevent the moving air in the air fryer from blowing all your toppings off your bagel.
- Transfer your bagel halves to your air fryer and cook on the air fry setting (400 degrees, no preheat needed) for 4 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
Marsha's Notes:
You can top your bagel with any toppings or cheese that you like. I used mini-pepperonis because it's what I had on hand, but full-sized would also be fine. I also used provolone cheese slices, but grated cheese would work just as well.

| After microwaving for 1 minute. See how the cheese is starting to form to the toppings underneath? |

| All done and delicious! |
