Servings 4 snack servings
Ingredients
- 4 plain mini bagels
- 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought marinara sauce
- 4 string cheese
- 16 slices black olives
Instructions
- Arrange an oven rack about 4 inches from the top of the broiler then preheat the oven to "broil." Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Halve the mini bagels and arrange them on the baking sheet.
- Divide the sauce among the mini bagels, spreading it into an even layer.
- Slice or shred the string cheese into small pieces then arrange the cheese atop the sauce in diagonal lines. Arrange two black olives next to each other on each bagel half to form the eyes.
- Broil the pizzas until the cheese is melted and the bagels are lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool slightly then serve.
Notes
- Because cheese is so delicious, I sometimes like to sprinkle these pizza bagels with grated Parmesan after they’ve come out of the oven.
- It’s important to place your bagels far enough away from the broiler to avoid the bread or ingredients burning before the cheese melts.
- You’ll want to slice or shred the string cheese (using your hands to pull apart the cheese is totally fine). Just be mindful to make the cheese pieces no larger than the mini bagels.
