Base
Sauce & Cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings (Optional)
- Mushrooms, sliced
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
Garnish
- Prep the bagels: Slice the bagels in half to create four open-faced pieces ready for topping.
- Assemble the pizzas: Spread a layer of marinara sauce evenly over each bagel half, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Add optional toppings like sliced mushrooms and halved cherry tomatoes according to your preference.
- Air fry: Carefully place the assembled bagels in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 6 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and starts to turn golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the bagels from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- You can customize the toppings with pepperoni, olives, or bell peppers for variety.
- For crispier bagels, toast the bagels lightly before adding toppings.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model and cheese melting preferences.
- If you prefer, use a low-fat mozzarella to reduce calories.
