Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To enjoy bagels at their freshest, I usually cut them into 2 or 4 pieces and freeze them. This way, I can easily take them out and toast them whenever I crave one. First, prepare two bagel halves to be toasted in the air fryer.
Step 2
Toast the frozen bagels in an air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for about 3 to 4 minutes. The toasting time may vary slightly depending on the number of bagels, their frozen state, and your specific air fryer model. Keep an eye on them until they turn golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 3
Ta-da! Look, the bagels are beautifully toasted to a golden brown. The irresistible aroma of freshly baked bagels is truly enticing.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the stars of our flavor combination! Take out the smooth Philadelphia cream cheese and the sweet and tangy raspberry jam from the refrigerator.
Step 5
First, take about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese and spread it evenly over the cut surface of the toasted bagel. It’s important to spread it to a moderate thickness, not too thick, on the bread’s surface.
Step 6
Spread the cream cheese generously and widely across the bagel’s surface, ensuring it’s smooth and not clumped. This allows you to fully appreciate the rich flavor of the cream cheese.
Step 7
Next, scoop about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam and spread it over the cream cheese. If you enjoy a tangier taste, feel free to add a little more.
Step 8
Don’t hesitate, spread it lavishly! The more cream cheese and raspberry jam you generously apply, the richer and more delicious the sandwich will be. Don’t miss out on this delightful combination!
Step 9
This finished Cream Cheese Raspberry Bagel pairs perfectly with a warm americano or a cold glass of milk, making it an ideal brunch option. Enjoy your meal!
