Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Hot Pocket

these quick air fryer pesto egg bagels are everything you want in a breakfast, crispy, herby, melty, and ready in minutes. the idea is simple: a swirl of pesto forms the base, the bagel gets toasted right into it, and the egg cooks perfectly in the center. top it with mozzarella, a little spice, and you’ve got a quick, high-protein breakfast or brunch that feels totally gourmet.

i love how the air fryer toasts the bagel edges golden-brown while keeping the inside soft and chewy. the pesto adds that rich basil flavor, and when it mixes with the runny yolk and melted cheese, it’s pure perfection.

these are amazing for busy mornings or weekend brunches when you want something easy but still impressive. plus, they’re endlessly customizable, add spinach, diced tomatoes, or even turkey bacon on top if you like.
