You can assemble and bake these deeply nostalgic pizza bagels in almost the same time it takes to pull the frozen kind out of the freezer. We call that a smart move!

Ingredients

  • 4 full-sized plain bagels, halved
  • 1/2 cup store-bought or homemade pizza sauce
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces mini pepperoni
  • Dried basil, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400˚F.

  2. 2

    Assemble the pizza bagels: For each half of a bagel, evenly spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce. Top each with about 1 ounce of cheese and dot with a few mini pepperonis (or just divide the cheese an pepperoni between the bagels). Top all your bagel halves just like this. You should have 8. Lightly sprinkle each pizza bagel with a pinch of dried basil.

  3. 3

    Bake the pizza bagels: Bake them for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bagels are crispy around the edges. Serve them warm. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through. Did you love this recipe? Leave us a review below!
