Introduction
They’re perfect for busy weeknights, after-school snacks, game day spreads, or anytime you want pizza flavor without making dough.
The air fryer is what makes these extra special: it toasts the bagel to a golden crunch while melting the cheese evenly—no soggy centers, no waiting on the oven.
Plus, you can customize each bagel half for picky eaters or different cravings: pepperoni, veggie, BBQ chicken, buffalo, or classic cheese.
