Mini Pizza Bagels
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Lay the bagel halves on the pan, cut side up.
- Toast them in the oven until the cut sides are dry and just starting to crisp, so the sauce doesn't soak in.
- Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of sauce on each half.
- Top each with a pinch of mozzarella, 2 mini pepperoni and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and parmesan, if using.
- Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly and starting to brown at the edges.
- Let them cool for 2 minutes before eating; the sauce is very hot.
