Toast the bagel halves, buttered, for about 3-5 minutes. You'll know they are ready when you can see a little toasted color appear on the edges. This pre-toasting step is optional, but will give you the crispiest pizza bagel.
Next, add sauce, cheese and toppings to your bagels.
Place in the oven and bake for around 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and beginning to bubble and the edges are golden brown.
Remove from oven and garnish with Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs or chili flakes. Serve warm.
Pizza Topping Ideas - We love a classic pepperoni pizza, but there are so many other creative options out there. With classic pizza sauce, try a veggie pizza, mushroom pizza or a Hawaiian pizza (using ham, pineapple and onion). With pesto, try an Italian sausage pizza. With Alfredo sauce or BBQ sauce, try a chicken pizza. These are all popular pizza choices in our home. Choose your favorite pizza toppings!
Easy Clean Up Use some parchment paper on your baking sheet for super easy clean up.
