Notes

Pro Tip:
For an extra crispy crust, toast the split bagels lightly in the toaster before adding the sauce and toppings. This will ensure that your mini pizza bagels have a perfect crunch on the outside while remaining soft and chewy on the inside.
Additional Topping Suggestions:
  1. Crispy Bacon: Crumble some cooked bacon over the cheese before baking for a delicious smoky flavor.
  2. Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Add a burst of sweet and tangy flavor by topping your mini pizza bagels with chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
  3. Pineapple: For a hint of tropical sweetness, sprinkle some diced pineapple over the sauce and cheese before baking.
  4. Red Onion: Thinly slice red onion and scatter it over the cheese for a pop of color and a mild onion flavor.
  5. Fresh Basil: After baking, top your mini pizza bagels with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant and herbaceous finish.
