Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Bagel Bites

  • 6 mini plain bagels, halved
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices or chopped regular pepperoni
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional toppings: chopped bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, or cooked sausage

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. Prepare Bagels: Arrange the mini bagel halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced.
  3. Spread Sauce: Evenly spread about 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce over each bagel half, covering the surface for a flavorful base.
  4. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce. Next, add mini pepperoni slices or chopped pepperoni, and any optional toppings like chopped bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, or cooked sausage as desired.
  5. Season: Lightly sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese over each pizza bagel to enhance the flavor.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese melts completely, becomes bubbly, and the edges of the bagels turn golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bagel bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to ensure safe and enjoyable eating.

Notes

  • For a healthier or allergy-friendly option, use whole wheat or gluten-free mini bagels.
  • These pizza bagel bites freeze well—assemble them, freeze on a tray, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to 2 months.
  • To bake from frozen, set the oven to 375°F and bake for 15 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
