These easy pizza bagels are so much better than the frozen ones! Add your favorite toppings, bake them to perfection, and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 4 bagels (plain, whole wheat, or your favorite type)
  • 1 cup pizza or marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20-30 slices pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F or set your toaster oven to bake.

  2. 2

    Slice the bagels in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

  3. 3

    Spread 1–2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each bagel half. Next, sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese, then top with pepperoni slices. Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning and garlic powder on top.

  4. 4

    Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispy finish, broil for the last 1–2 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

  5. 5

    Remove the pizza bagels from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
