Ingredients
- Rice Paper Sheets: 4 large round sheets, about 22 cm each, these create the structure and signature chew
- Large Egg: 1 egg, lightly beaten, helps bind layers and adds richness
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: ½ cup, about 60 grams, gives a soft, melty interior
- Everything Seasoning: 1 tablespoon, adds texture and bold savory flavor
- Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon, for brushing and crisping the exterior
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon, enhances overall flavor
Instructions
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat or preheat your air fryer to 180 C
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and mix in the shredded mozzarella and salt until evenly combined
- Lightly brush the skillet or air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking
- Lightly dampen two rice paper sheets and layer them. Spoon the cheese mixture into the center, shape into a ring, then place two more dampened sheets on top. Press and shape firmly into a bagel form. Brush the outside lightly with olive oil and sprinkle everything seasoning on top
- Place in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. If using an air fryer, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through
- Allow it to cool for 2 to 3 minutes so the structure sets and the cheese firms slightly
- Slice and serve warm
Notes
- Do not oversoak the rice paper, it should be flexible but not tearing
- Cook on steady medium heat to avoid scorching
- Press the edges well so the ring keeps its shape
