Want to make two or possibly even more bagels?

Use the large glass base of the Ninja Crispi instead. You may need to increase the time, start with the stated time and increase a couple of minutes at a time if necessary so that they don't burn, unless you like them with burnt bits which is fair enough!

Servings person

Equipment

1 Ninja Crispi or an Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 bagel
4 slices chorizo mild or spicy you choose (obviously it works with tons of other fillings of your choosing)
2 slices cheddar cheese if you're slicing it from a block one slice if it's pre-sliced, basically to fit your bagel
2 slices fresh tomato
Unsalted butter optional

Instructions

Slice your bagel in half and, if you like, spread a little butter on both sides. Add your chorizo or cheese first, then top with the tomato and pop the other half of the bagel on top.
Place in air fryer, I used the small base of the Ninja Crispi and did 4 minutes on Air Fry mode, which is more or less the equivalent to 180ºC / 356ºF.
Air fryers vary so add time to yours at the end if it's not quite how you want it.
