quick air fryer pesto egg bagels

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.
