# Ingredients:

→ Egg and Cheese Filling
02 -
2 big eggs
03 -
1 cup baby spinach, chopped up
04 -
½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
05 -
½ cup ricotta, well-drained
06 -
2-3 tablespoons chives, minced
07 -

08 -

→ For Assembling
11 -
2-3 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
→ Optional Garnishes
12 -
Crispy bacon slices
13 -
Spicy hot sauce
14 -
Avocado, sliced
# Steps:
01 -
Use some tongs to take out the bagels. Add things like crispy bacon, some avocado, or a little hot sauce on top. Cap with the bagel lid and eat while they're still hot.
02 -
Set the bagel bottoms and tops into your air fryer basket, buttered sides pointing up. Cook at 200°C for 8–10 minutes. They're done when eggs are cooked through and the tops look golden.
03 -
Smear a good layer of softened butter over the cut part of each bagel top.
04 -
Split your bagels. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the egg mix on each bottom half. If you want, drop a pinch of cheddar on the top.
05 -
Toss in your spinach, chives, then the shredded cheddar. Fold everything in gently so your mixture stays nice and thick.
06 -
Crack the eggs in a medium bowl, then dump in the ricotta, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk it all up so it's completely smooth.
# Notes:
01 -
Drain ricotta well, or your filling will get soggy.
02 -
You don't have to use an air fryer. Try an oven at 175°C for 10–12 minutes if you like.
