Ingredients
-
4 bagels of choice, cut in half
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup pizza sauce
-
½ cup steamed broccoli, peas, green beans, or asparagus spear tops
-
1 roasted red bell pepper, thinly sliced
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
-
Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce over each bagel half.
-
Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese over each bagel half.
-
Arrange the steamed vegetables on top in a circular pattern to resemble a wreath.
-
Cut the roasted red bell pepper into thin strips and arrange them as a ribbon on each wreath.
-
Place the bagel wreaths on a foil-lined baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly crisp.
-
Alternatively, air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes.
-
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
-
Use firm bagels: Fresh or slightly sturdy bagels hold up well under the toppings.
-
Steam vegetables until just tender: They should be easy to arrange without becoming too soft.
-
Keep the wreath shape simple: A ring of green vegetables around the center makes the holiday design easy for little helpers.
-
Don’t overload the toppings: A lighter layer helps the cheese melt evenly and keeps the bagels crisp.
