Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup diced smoked salmon (optional for a gourmet touch)

1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface. Pinch the seams to seal the triangles together, creating a flat rectangle.

      Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, diced smoked salmon (if using), and half of the everything bagel seasoning. Mix until well combined.

        Cut and Fill the Dough: Cut the dough into square pieces (about 2-3 inches). Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the dough over the filling to create a pouch and pinch tightly to seal.

          Brush and Season: Place the bagel bites seam-side down on a plate. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle the remaining everything bagel seasoning evenly over each bite.

            Air Fry the Bites: Carefully place the stuffed bagel bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a perfect snack or party appetizer.
