Hello and welcome to Mashable's Air Friday, where we air fry anything and everything in the
name of deliciousness.
I am pulled for reporter Tim Marcin and this week we are air frying a cinnamon sugar cream cheese
bagel thing. Let's see.
All right.
So this recipe comes from tick tock like a lot of air fryer recipes do because Tick Tock is obsessed
with air fryers and it comes from the creator. What's mom cooking?
This is a very simple recipe.
Basically, you have a bagel,
you have some cinnamon sugar. This is about equal parts.
Cinnamon and sugar just mixed up in a little container.
You have some cream cheese and you have some honey. So first things first.
What we're going to do is take a bagel and cut it in half,
just like.
So if you have a bread knife, that's probably preferable.
But I could not find mine. So chef's knife is just cut in half.
And then what you do, really simple.
Get a big schmear of cream cheese on there and do as much or as little as you like.
I just have plain Philadelphia cream cheese. That's not a product placement.
It's just the brand in the store. I don't have any flavor anything because this is
going to be a pretty sweet bagel.
Now, I typically prefer your savory style.
I love, like,
a real New York bagel with sky and cream cheese.
To me, that's perfect.
But this is going to be like a dessert bagel.
So if you're a sweet person, maybe this is for you because cream cheese is
already pretty sweet.
And then we're going to add cinnamon sugar to it, and then we're going to add honey.
So it's sweet. On top of sweet.
On top of sweet. All right.
We have cream cheese bagel. Real easy.
Now we take cinnamon sugar and we put a nice coating on each side.
Get your close up here. It's just cream cheese with cinnamon and sugar.
All right. That's it.
We're going to put it in the air fryer for 400 degrees at 5 minutes.
That's the recipe from what's mom cooking on Ted Talk.
And then once that's done, we're gonna put some honey on it,
because why not?
Let's make this thing even sweeter, and then it's time to chill out.
But, yeah,
we're going to cook the green peas.
We're going to cook the bagel, we're going to cook the cinnamon sugar.
Kind of strange, but let's see how it goes.
400 degrees finesse.
Okay, so our sugar cream cheese cinnamon bagel is ready
now.
I actually ended up only air frying it for about 3 minutes.
I think my air fryer might be a little bit more powerful than other brands.
Just keep an eye on it.
It looked thoroughly cold and I didn't want to burn the bread.
So here we have it. Give you a little look.
See here. Got a little bit crunchy exterior.
The cream cheese has a little bit of light char to it almost.
No. So the next step.
Really easy stuff. I take?
This bagel is covered in cream cheese and cinnamon sugar.
And we're going to make it even sweeter with some honey.
This is just normal, honey.
And just a little drizzle will do. Should be.
All right.
I'm going to let this sit for a second, because I'm sure it is piping hot coming out of the
air fire and then we'll give it a taste test and see how it is.
All right. The moment of truth has arrived.
It is time to taste test our cinnamon sugar, honey,
baby.
Now, if you look,
it's still pretty hot.
It's kind of brown on the edges and underneath it's really hard.
And you can hear that it's definitely toasted through.
The honey has sort of gotten melty because of the heat of everything else.
Let's give it a big bite.
That's not bad.
It sort of has a similar role vibe with way more crunch.
The honey really takes the sweetness probably a little too far for me,
but yeah, it's pretty.
Cinnamon really plays country. It's got good texture.
Yeah. I mean.
If you're a fan of Sweet Breakfast, this is a really simple recipe,
so maybe you should give it a try. I'm not.
I'm typically late the more egg based savory breakfast,
so probably won't get my rotation.
But lots of people seem to like this and has millions and millions of views on TikTok.
Lizzo, herself,
the queen of TikTok, commented on it.
So I'm sure it's a great recipe for a lot of people. Probably a little too sweet for me.
Not really my thing.
But yeah, I mean,
it's definitely like a fun, sweet breakfast if that's kind of your deal or maybe
it's a kids deal or, you know.
Yeah, not for me,
but might be for you. Who knows?
