Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bagels Any variety, plain or everything bagels are favorites.

- Sprinkle a fistful of shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce.
- Add a few slices of pepperoni on each mini pizza.

Notes
For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
