Pizza Toppings:
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20–24 slices pepperoni (or toppings of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for crispier bagels)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Prepare the Bagels: Place the sliced bagels cut-side up on a baking sheet. Optionally, lightly brush with olive oil for extra crispness.
- Add Toppings: Spread about 1–2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each bagel half. Top with shredded mozzarella, arrange pepperoni or preferred toppings, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bagel edges are golden.
- Serve: Let cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Customize with toppings like mushrooms, olives, sausage, or bell peppers.
- For a quicker version, toast the bagels first and broil for 2–3 minutes instead of baking.
