Basic Pizza Bagels with Customizable Toppings
How to make pizza bagels at home! Customize your pizza bagels with pesto, sausage, greens, or whatever vegetables and toppings you have on hand.
Ingredients
Pizza Bagels
Optional Toppings
  • Kale pesto
  • Sautéed sausage
  • Thinly sliced Brussels sprouts tossed with lemon and sea salt
  • Radicchio or other greens torn into bite-sized pieces
  • Green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
  1. Prep desired toppings. Pizza bagels need to be assembled quickly, so it's best to have your mise en place all set.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degree F.
  3. Arrange bagels on a rimmed baking sheet (if desired, line with parchment). Working quickly, spoon marinara onto bagels, cover with cheese, and dot with optional toppings of your choice. (I like to sort of tuck my toppings into the cheese, so they get a little char but also get covered with melty goodness.)
  4. Bake until toppings have golden edges and cheese is bubbling, 10 - 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
