Easiest Dinner I've Ever Made: Pizza Bagels!

One of my kids' favorite dishes is inspired by one of my childhood favorites--Bagel Bites! I could've eaten those everyday as a child! But now that I'm older and (somewhat) wiser, I tend to stay away from the frozen prepared foods and try to make them on my own instead. This dish is quick and easy and taste better than that big red box...of frozen goodness...

Pizza Bagels

Ingredients

• 1 Bag mini bagels
• 2 Cups (1 bag) Mozzerella Cheese
• 1 Jar of Pizza Sauce (I use either Nature's Promise Organic Pizza Sauce or Muir Glen Organic Pizza Sauce...or you can make your own, but either of these are soo good. Not a fan of Ragu's pizza sauce, by the way.)
• Extra Virgin Olive oil
• Garlic Salt
• Oregano
• Your choice of toppings

Directions

1. Set your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the bagel halves face up on the foil.
3. Baste about 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil on each bagel.
4. Sprinkle about a 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt and a 1/2 teaspoon of oregano on each bagel.
5. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each bagel half.
6. Add your toppings (if any).
7. Top each bagel with mozzerella cheese. How much you put is up to you but I'm pretty generous with my cheese. :p
8. Sprinkle each bagel with a little more oregano.
9. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until all cheese is melted.

The best part about making pizza for my kids--I can hide as many veggies as I want in that pizza sauce!! (Insert evil laugh here.)

When you're done, your house will smell amazing, your food will look like this:

Bon Appetite,
