Ingredients

Bagel Base

  • 6 mini bagels, halved
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed through a garlic press
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce recommended)
  • 1/4 cup mini pepperoni, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (Tillamook Farmstyle Cut recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bagels: Place mini bagels cut side up on a baking sheet to prepare for topping.
  2. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with pressed garlic and dried parsley until well combined.
  3. Spread Garlic Butter: Generously spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the mini bagels.
  4. Broil Bagels: Place the buttered bagels in the oven under the broiler until the edges turn golden brown, watching closely to avoid burning.
  5. Add Pizza Sauce: Remove bagels from oven and spread approximately one tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each bagel half.
  6. Top with Cheese and Pepperoni: In a bowl, combine chopped mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sauced bagels.
  7. Broil to Melt: Return the bagels to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

Notes

  • Watch the bagels carefully while broiling to prevent burning.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the garlic butter.
  • Mini pepperoni can be substituted with other toppings like sliced olives or mushrooms.
  • Serve immediately while hot and bubbly for the best taste.
  • These mini bagel pizzas make great party appetizers or quick snacks.
