A mini bagel pizza will never not be delicious! Though I will admit to making the same recipe every single time the boys and I whip them up. Pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni and done. That’s why I love Jonathan’s take on mini bagel pizzas because he’s so creative with the ingredients. I say we all throw a pizza party and encourage the kiddos to come up with their own creation!
Start by splitting open the mini bagels and arranging them in a single layer on a baking sheet or pizza pan.
The first mini bagel pizza is a Vegetarian Pesto Pizza Bagel. Spread a few bagel halves with store-bought pesto and top with shredded mozzarella and sliced cherry tomatoes.
The second is a regular Pepperoni Pizza Bagel. Spread store-bought pizza sauce onto a few bagel halves and top with shredded mozzarella, mini pepperoni and black olives if you wish.
The third and final mini bagel pizza is a BBQ Chicken Pizza Bagel. Spread store-bought bbq sauce onto the remaining halves and top with a cheddar jack cheese blend. Cooked leftover chicken (or store-bought rotisserie chicken) red onion, and scallions.
Bake the bagels in a preheated 350ºF oven until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Allow the mini bagel pizzas to cool before serving… they’re pretty hot when they come out of the oven!
