Learn how to make the best bagels in the air fryer. This simple hack will change your breakfast forever!
One of the best parts of having an air fryer is discovering new, easier ways to make things.
Take bagels, for instance.
Until I bought my air fryer I was slicing them and jamming them in my toaster, crossing my fingers they wouldn’t get stuck.
What a pain.
In the air fryer, no more. Just slice them in half, dollop on the cream cheese, and let the air fryer do its magic.
Ingredients
To make the best air fryer bagels you’ll need:
- Bagels– That’s a given right? I use plain but you can use any savory variety you like.
- Cream cheese– Go for the whipped kind.
- Everything bagel seasoning– Just a little.
- Honey– Some sweet to balance the savory.
How to Toast Bagels in the Air Fryer
To make these, start by cutting the bagels in half.
Then, spread each half of your bagel with your desired amount of cream cheese.
Sprinkle each with everything bagel seasoning.
Air fry the prepared bagels at 350° for 5 minutes.
Let the bagels rest for 30-60 seconds, then drizzle with honey just before serving.
Variations
You can do tons of variations like these:
- Not a fan of everything bagel seasoning? Use sesame seeds instead.
- Want to do a sweet version? Substitute the everything bagel seasoning for cinnamon and then feel free to use a sweet bagel.
- Add other toppings too. Top the bagels with lox or fresh sliced fruit.
Storing Leftovers
I don’t recommend saving leftovers. They will get hard and soggy.
