These Quick and Easy Mini Pizza Bagels are the ultimate finger food, delivering big flavor with minimal effort.
Equipment
- half-sheet pan
- Heavy-Duty Non-Stick Aluminum Foil
- Basting Brush
- small microwave proof bowl
- Small Whisk
- wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 10 Mini Bagels split in half
- ¼ c Unsalted Butter
- 2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Blend divided
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¾ c Pizza Sauce
- 8 oz Shredded 6 Cheese Italian Blend
- 100 Mini Pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a half-sheet pan with heavy-duty non-stick Aluminum foil. Split the mini bagels in half and place them in a single layer on the prepared pan.
- Microwave the unsalted butter for 30 seconds. Then, stir in the garlic powder and one teaspoon of the Italian seasoning blend. Use a basting brush to brush the tops of the bagel halves with the butter mixture.
- Toast the bagels in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Top each toasted bagel with about ½ tablespoon of pizza sauce, using the back of the spoon to spread it around. (See Note 1)
- Sprinkle about two teaspoons of the cheese over each bagel half. Then sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of Italian seasoning over all of the mini bagels. Top each pizza bagel with five mini pepperonis. (See Note 2)
- Bake in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Yield 20: Mini Pizza Bagels
Tips/Notes
- Spoon the sauce almost to the edges of the bagel halves—this prevents exposed crust from becoming overly hard or dry in the oven.
- Lightly press down on the cheese and pepperoni before baking so the toppings stay anchored on the curved bagel surface.
