Homemade Bagel Bites

Homemade bagel bites make for a great family movie night treat or after school snack, and each person can fix their bagels just like they want them! Add some apple slices or some carrot sticks for a healthy addition.

You can use full size bagels; however, we prefer the mini ones when turning them into little yummy pizzas. If you have a discount bakery, making your own homemade bagel bites can also be a fairly frugal meal, depending on how far you go on the toppings.

Ingredients:

• Mini bagels
• Pizza sauce
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• toppings – pepperoni, bacon, veggies, etc.

Directions:

You first need to decide if you want your bagel bites chewy or with a little crunch. If you are in a hurry or simply like your bagel bites on the chewy side, you do not need to pre-bake the bagels.

Slice the mini bagels in half, if needed, and lay them on your baking sheet with the inside facing up. If you are going to pre-bake your bagels, bake them on one side for approximately 5 minutes, then turn over and bake the bottom sides for about 3 minutes. Timing, of course, depends on how much of a crunch you prefer.

Spread your pizza sauce on each half bagel.

Top each bagel with cheese and then add any other toppings you prefer.

Once you have your bagels topped and ready, bake them for 8-10 minutes.

All you have to do now is sit down and enjoy!
