Ingredients
  

  • 10 mini bagels halved
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups mozarella cheese
  • pepperoni & other desired toppings

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Add your toppings to each mini bagel half: start with the pizza sauce, then add mozzarella, pepperoni, and any garnishes.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool slightly, then enjoy!

Notes

  • Bagel Choice: Plain bagels work best, but you can use flavored bagels like garlic or onion for extra flavor.
  • Make It Crispy: Toast the bagel halves before adding toppings if you prefer a crispier base.
  • Air Fryer Option: Cook at 350°F for 5-7 minutes in the air fryer for a quicker alternative.
  • Toppings: Feel free to add any of your favorite pizza toppings, such as olives, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
