Bagel Pizzas

Bagels aren’t just for breakfast! All day I was contemplating what I would have for dinner. I’m solo for dinner tonight and my initial plan just didn’t really sound good, partly because it was a bit time consuming and I’m feeling lazy today. At one point, I was considering breakfast for dinner…. but eh, after having breakfast out with my husband earlier this week, I didn’t want to repeat the same meal.

So I’m staring inside my fridge looking for inspiration. Nothing. I look on my kitchen counter and I have a package of onion bagels sitting there. Back inside the fridge, I notice a package of pepperoni and some leftover tomato sauce…. and I always have cheese on hand. Suddenly, the idea of bagel pizzas hit me.

Back in the day, I remember when the popular ‘Bagel Bites’ hit the stores. They were one of my favorite snacks throughout college and it’s been way too long since I had one, much less made them at home. For tonight’s dinner, I used regular sized onion bagels, made a quick pizza sauce and topped my pizzas with a combination of shredded Italian cheeses and pepperoni slices. Feel free to top with whatever you have on hand, which is a great way to use up leftover, random ingredients.

Bagel Pizzas
makes 10 bagel pizzas

5 regular sized bagels, split in half
1 cup pizza sauce (recipe follows)
1 cup shredded cheese of your choice
assorted toppings of your choice

Preheat your oven to 375.

Spread each bagel half with a tablespoon or so of pizza sauce. Top with shredded cheese, your preferred toppings and top with another sprinkling of cheese.

Place each topped bagel half on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining bagel halves.

Bake the bagel pizzas in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese melts and turns a golden brown. Serve hot.

    I always forget about easy little bites like this. Great way to use up leftovers in the fridge… cuz everything is better on a (bagel) pizza, right?

    I have a serious bagel bites addiction, and I haven't had a bagel pizza in forever! Looks like I'll be back off the wagon soon enough.

    Definitely a great idea for “home alone” dinners. I do love pizza and am a huge fan of bagels. This mash-up is a total treat for me and someone else who will be left alone at home. Since I’m leaving for the weekend, my sister will be alone. I was thinking of ordering some fast food dishes before I leave but this pizza bagel is better. Nice post!
