Ingredients
  

Mini bagel pizzas
  • 6 mini bagels, split Split into halves.
  • 1 cup marinara sauce Use for topping each bagel half.
  • 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Top generously for melty coverage.
  • 0.25 cup mini pepperoni Add a few pieces per half.
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning Sprinkle over the pizzas before baking.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep and assemble
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the split bagel halves cut-side up on the baking sheet.
  3. Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce evenly over each bagel half.
  4. Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni.
  5. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Bake
  1. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 400°F, until the cheese is melted and bubbly golden.

Notes

Pro tip: If you want extra crisp bottoms, toast the bagel halves for 2 to 3 minutes before adding sauce and cheese to prevent a soggy center. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a 375°F oven until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because the bagels soften after thawing. For a dairy-light swap, use part-skim mozzarella or a lactose-free shredded cheese that melts well.
