• bagel↗1

  cut in half

• chili jam↗½ ст. л. tbsp

  or red‑onion chutney

• cheddar↗25g g

  grated

• ham↗1-2 скибочки
• egg↗1

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. Place the halved bagel in the basket and bake for 2–3 minutes until it is toasted. Remove it and enlarge the opening in the top half with a sharp knife (this will make it easier to add the egg; if the opening is already large enough, this step can be skipped). Spread chili jam or red‑onion chutney on the bottom half, sprinkle with grated cheddar and lay 1–2 slices of ham. Cover with the top half and return to the air fryer for another 5 minutes so the cheese melts slightly.

2. 2

   Remove the bagel and crack the egg directly into the opening of the top half. If the egg is too large, gently lift the top half so the white can spread underneath. Return the bagel to the air fryer and bake for 8–10 minutes until the egg reaches the desired doneness, the cheese melts, and the top crust turns golden. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
