🥯 Ingredients

¼ cup wholewheat flour

2 tbsp cheddar cheese, grated

1 tbsp plain yoghurt

1 tsp chopped jalapeños

(add a little extra yoghurt if the mix feels too dry, or a sprinkle of flour if it’s too wet)

🔥 Method

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until a dough forms.

Shape into a bagel — no need for perfection; rustic is part of the charm.

Air fry at 170°C for 12 - 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Turn over for the last 4 mins.

Let it cool slightly (if you can wait!), then enjoy the cheesy, spicy goodness as is — or slice and fill with avocado, tomato, or a little extra cheese.
