Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the halved bagels onto the baking sheet face up.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over each bagel, then add cheese, pepperoni and black olives.
- Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the pizza bagels to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. You may top with fresh herbs if desired.
- AIR FRYER: Want to cook these in the air fryer? Preheat air fryer to 350°F and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Notes
- Storage: Pizza bagels are best served fresh, but they may be stored in an airtight container or baggie in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze pizza bagels baked or unbaked. I prefer to assemble them, wrap them up tightly, and freeze them unbaked, but you could also cool down leftover pizza bagels, wrap, and freeze. Either way, they will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer, and can be baked directly from frozen.
- Bagels: Any bagel flavor of your choice will work here, and you can also use bagel thins for a thinner crust and to cut down on calories. I do this often.
- Toppings: Use any toppings you enjoy! Just keep in mind these are small, so if your toppings are large, cut them into smaller pieces.
