Make fun, cheesy pizza bagels at home quickly. This recipe is perfect for a simple weeknight dinner, a kid-friendly snack, or game day food. You can cook these using either your oven or an air fryer for a crispy crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bagels, sliced in half horizontally
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional toppings: sliced pepperoni, cooked sausage, sliced mushrooms, bell peppers

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the bagel halves cut-side up on a baking sheet or directly in the air fryer basket.
  3. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the cut surface of each bagel half.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the sauce.
  5. Add your desired optional toppings now.
  6. If using the oven: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bagel edges are lightly toasted.
  7. If using the air fryer: Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, checking frequently, until the cheese is melted and the bagel is crisp.
  8. Sprinkle with dried oregano and garlic powder before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a high-protein option, add cooked, crumbled turkey sausage or diced grilled chicken before baking.
  • If you are looking for simple meal planning ideas that save time, these are a great alternative to ordering from meal delivery companies.
  • To make mini bagel bites, use mini bagels and adjust cooking time down by 1-2 minutes.
  • For an extra crispy crust, toast the bagel halves lightly before adding the sauce and toppings.
