Can I Make These Ahead of Time?

Absolutely, My favorite meal prep trick is assembling a whole batch (sauce, cheese, toppings) and storing them uncooked on a parchment-lined tray in the fridge. Just pop them in the air fryer when hunger strikes - they might need an extra minute since they're cold, but they taste just as amazing.

What If I Don't Have an Air Fryer?

No worries, Bake them at 375°F on a sheet pan for about 8-10 minutes. They won't get quite as crispy, but they'll still be delicious. Pro tip: broil for the last minute to get that bubbly cheese effect.

Can I Use Frozen Bagels?

You bet, Just thaw them first - frozen bagels make the toppings slide right off. I like to slice them while still slightly frozen (easier to cut evenly) then let them come to room temperature before topping.

How Do I Keep Toppings From Falling Off?

The secret is in the layering. Sauce first (not too much), then press the cheese into it gently. For heavy toppings like pepperoni, tuck them slightly under the cheese edge. Works like a charm.
