Pro Tips

Toast the Bagels First: Toasting them before assembling the sliders adds an extra layer of crispiness and prevents them from becoming soggy when filled with toppings.
Prevent Overcrowding: When cooking the sliders, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can prevent proper air circulation and result in uneven cooking.
Layer Ingredients Thoughtfully: Layer the ingredients strategically to ensure an even distribution of flavors and prevent the sliders from falling apart when bitten.
Precook Ingredients: Before assembling the sliders, precook any raw ingredients, such as bacon or sausage, to ensure they are fully cooked and ready to enjoy.
Customize Toppings: Get creative with toppings and condiments to personalize your sliders to your taste preferences, whether adding avocado, salsa, or a dollop of hot sauce.
Adjust Cooking Time: Watch the sliders towards the end of the cooking time and adjust as needed based on your air fryer model and the thickness of the ingredients.
Serve Immediately: Serve the sliders immediately after cooking to ensure they are hot and crispy, and enjoy them while they’re fresh and flavorful.

With these pro tips, you can whip up delicious and satisfying Air Fryer Bagel Breakfast Sliders that are perfect for any morning occasion.

Faq’s

Can I use frozen bagels for this recipe? While fresh bagels are recommended for the best texture and flavor, you can use frozen bagels. Allow them to thaw completely before toasting in the air fryer.

How do I prevent the bagels from becoming too crispy in the air fryer? To prevent them from becoming too crispy, toast them for a shorter time or reduce the temperature slightly.

Can I make these sliders ahead of time? While it’s best to enjoy the sliders fresh, you can assemble them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator overnight. Air fry them just before serving to ensure they’re hot and crispy.

Can I use different types of bagels for this recipe? Yes, you can customize the sliders to your liking by using your favorite type of bagel, whether it’s plain, whole wheat, sesame, or everything bagels.

Can I freeze the assembled sliders for later? While it’s possible to freeze the assembled sliders, the texture may not be as optimal upon reheating. It’s best to freeze the individual components separately and assemble them fresh when ready to enjoy.

What’s the best way to reheat leftover sliders? Reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until heated through and crispy. Alternatively, you can use a toaster oven or a conventional oven.
