Ingredients
  

Mini bagels pizza base
  • 6 mini bagels sliced in half
  • 0.75 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup mini pepperoni or toppings of choice
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep and assemble
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and arrange the bagel halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  2. Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce evenly over each bagel half.
  3. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and your desired toppings.
  4. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Bake and serve
  1. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, with the tops lightly browned.
  2. Let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving so the cheese sets slightly.

Notes

For best melt, use freshly shredded mozzarella or a good melting blend, and don’t over-stack toppings so the cheese stays bubbly. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because bagels soften when thawed and reheated. Dietary swap: use turkey pepperoni (or a plant-based pepperoni) if you want a lower-fat or meat-free topping option.
