Mini bagels topped with pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese. Mini Pizza Bagels are homemade bagel bites but better! Make a bunch and keep them in the freezer for quick snacks or dinners.
Have you gotten creative with lunch ideas while we’ve been staying at home?
I’ve been trying to come up with easy ideas that aren’t the usual cold sandwich but are still delicious.
These Mini Pizza Bagels have become a staple because not only do my kids love them, it takes me less than an hour to assemble a bunch of them and pop them in the freezer for even easier lunches.
Ingredients
- Mini Plain Bagels
- Pizza Sauce
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Sliced Pepperoni
Directions
- Split each bagel in half and place on a baking sheet
- Spread pizza sauce on each bagel half
- Top with shredded mozzarella and diced pepperoni
- Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes, until bagel is crispy and cheese is melted
Can You Freeze Them?
My favorite part about these mini pizza bagels is how well they freeze. I’ve been known to buy a couple bags of Thomas’® Plain Mini Bagels just to make a ton of these little pizzas to have in the freezer.
The best way to freeze them is to put the assembled pizzas (before baking!) onto a baking sheet and putting that into the freezer for a couple hours until all the ingredients are pretty frozen. And then you can gently transfer them to a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To bake from frozen, preheat the oven to 350F and bake for 20 – 25 minutes, until the bagels and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Mini Pizza Bagels
Ingredients
- 1 package Thomas'® Plain Mini Bagels
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 10 slices pepperoni, diced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Split each bagel and place on prepared baking sheet.
Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each bagel half. Sprinkle with cheese and pepperoni. (Stop here if freezing!)
Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until the bagels are toasted and the cheese is melted.
Notes
To freeze: place prepared bagels on a baking sheet and freeze for a few hours, until all ingredients are frozen. From there, you can gently place them in a plastic freezer bag and freeze until you're ready to bake. To bake from frozen, bake at 350F for 20 - 25 minutes, until bagel is toasted and cheese is melted.
