Ingredients
- bagel1
- cheese1/2 cup
- tomato1
- butter1 tsp
- black pepper1/4 tsp
Method
Split
Slice the bagel in half through the middle and spread a thin layer of butter over each cut side. The butter helps the cut faces toast to a crisp golden surface instead of drying out under the hot air.
Top
Lay thin tomato slices over each buttered half, then cover them with the cheese and add a pinch of black pepper. Keeping the tomato thin stops it releasing too much water, so the bagel stays crisp.
Arrange
Place the halves cut-side up in the basket in a single layer without stacking them. Keeping them level holds the toppings in place and lets the hot air melt the cheese and crisp the edges evenly.
Air fry
Air fry at 175°C for 7 min until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the bagel edges are golden and crisp. Serve straight away while the cheese is still soft and the base still has its crunch.
