Ingredients

  • 4 bagels, sliced in half
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20 slices pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready to bake your pizza bagels to a perfect golden finish.
  2. Prepare Bagels: Slice the bagels in half horizontally and arrange them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Assemble the Pizza Bagels: Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each bagel half. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce. Arrange pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the bagels are toasted to your liking.
  5. Serve: Remove the pizza bagels from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a tasty snack or meal.

Notes

  • You can use mini bagels for bite-sized snacks or larger bagels for a more filling meal.
  • Feel free to customize toppings by adding vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
  • For a crispier base, toast bagel halves lightly before adding toppings.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or microwave.
