# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The air fryer creates impossibly flaky layers without turning on your oven or heating up the kitchen
- These come together in under 20 minutes using ingredients you probably keep on hand anyway
02 -
- Overfilling these seems like a good idea until cheese starts dripping onto your heating element
- Letting them rest for a few minutes after cooking prevents that molten cheese lava burn
03 -
- Chill your dough for 10 minutes before rolling if it gets too soft and sticky
- A light sprinkling of everything bagel seasoning on top takes these to the next level
