Ingredients
- 6 mini bagels
- 1/2 cup of pizza sauce
- 1 cup of Mozzarella shredded cheese
- 60 mini pepperonis
- 1 Tablespoon of olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or non-stick aluminum foil
3. Bake for 10 minutes then remove from oven and top bagels with pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni.
4. Bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bagel is crisp and cheese is melted.
Notes
Freezing
Follow steps 1 through 3 then place bagel not touching on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer 3 hours or until frozen. Place in a plastic bag in freezer for up to 3 months.
Precook if you are going to send them in your child's lunches and they can thaw between packing in the morning and lunch time.
The other benefit to precooking is that the topping stay more secure.
Unbaked they tend to lose pieces of cheese or toppings that freeze but don't freeze to the sauce.
How to Heat
Bake bagel pizza bites at 350 degrees in oven or air fryer for 10 to 12 minutes or until cheese melts. If you choose an air fryer the bagel bites take about 7 minutes to cook.
Again, line your air frier or baking pan with non-stick foil or parchment paper.
There is no need to thaw.

Bagel Pizza Bites
What kid doesn’t love bagel pizza bites. My son loves them and asks for them all the time. So, I decided to see how he would like them if I made them myself. The verdict is in…..he liked mine better! Yay that’s a win. The bagel pizza bites were also very quick and easy to make.
These bites will also work well for parties. When I was growing up, we would get together with other family’s after church and a quick easy go to was mini pizzas. We used whatever we had (hamburger buns, English muffins, hot dog buns) These bagel bites are definitely the best. Crispy cheesy deliciousness.
