A Note About Air Fryers

While air fryers are amazing, their power, sizes and cooking times vary greatly at times. This recipe is based on the air fryer that I use in my kitchen. Please note that cooking times may vary based on the specific brand that you use in your kitchen. For this reason, always keep an eye on your food while cooking. You may need to adjust cooking times up or down based on the brand you are using.

Ingredients

Ingredients to prepare the bagel bites labelled on a sheetpan
  • Canned pizza dough
  • Plain cream cheese
  • Scallions
  • Garlic powder
  • Sea salt
  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Egg

A full list of ingredients with measurements is located on the recipe card, below.

Instructions

START WITH...

Collecting all your ingredients - This will make cooking so much easier. Gather all the spices you will need, and keep them nearby. 

Chopping the scallions - The only preparation required for these bagel bites is chopping the scallions. Get them ready to go before preparing the stuffing!

Instructions on preparing bagel balls; mixing together filling, and forming the balls
  1. Mix together the filling: In a mixing bowl, add the plain cream cheese, scallions, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Combine well, and set aside.
  2. Prepare the dough: Unroll the canned pizza dough, and cut into 16 equal sized pieces. The easiest way to do this is by cutting the dough into quarters, and then each quadrant into quarters again.
  3. Make the bagel balls: Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the centre of the pizza dough piece. Fold the four corners in, and roll into a ball.
  4. Brush with egg wash: Brush the top of the balls with a whisked egg, and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
  5. Air fry: Air fry the bagel balls for 8-9 minutes at 350°F. Keep an eye on them to be sure they do not brown too fast!

Expert Tip

Soften your cream cheese! It is no surprise that cold cream cheese is not very easy to combine. If you can, take your cream cheese out an hour before making the bagel bite filling. If you forgot, or decide on a whim to make these, simply microwave the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl in 10-second increments.

Substitutions

  • Pizza dough - instead of pizza dough, you can also use canned biscuit dough. If you feel like making it from scratch, the dough from my jalapeno popper balls works perfectly as well!
  • Scallions - feel free to substitute with chives, or leave them out completely. You can also alternatively use herb and garlic cream cheese, if you do not have any herbs on hand!
  • Everything bagel seasoning - If you do not have everything bagel seasoning on hand, feel free to substitue with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or even leave them plain!

Variations

  • Choose a different cream cheese - Try these out with smoked salmon cream cheese, or vegetable cream cheese for a fun twist on the filling!
  • Make them sweet - Ditch the savoury everything bagel seasoning, and fill these with strawberry cream cheese or pumpkin spice cream cheese!

Equipment

This is what I used to make this recipe - Please be mindful that different equipment and cooking utensils may yield varying results. Most of my favourite equipment can be found on my storefront.

  • Mixing bowl
  • Air fryer

Storage

Believe it or not, these bagel bites are the perfect freezer food. If you are looking to make these as a make-ahead breakfast idea, you have a couple of options.

You can either air-fry them completely and let them cool before freezing in a freezer bag or airtight container, or, freeze them before air frying in a freezer bag or airtight container.

To reheat, simply pop them in the air fryer from frozen for approximately 7 minutes, and enjoy!
