Y’all, let me tell you about the most amazing midnight snack that’s been my go-to when those late-night cravings hit! As someone who’s guilty of raiding the kitchen at ungodly hours, I’ve perfected these Loaded Pizza Bagel Bites that’ll make your taste buds dance at 2 AM.
Listen, we’re not talking about those frozen bagel bites from your college days. These are the real deal, honey! They’re crispy, cheesy, and totally customizable – perfect for when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and need something more exciting than plain old popcorn.
What You’ll Need:
– 2 plain bagels (mini ones if you’re trying to be good 😉)
– 1/2 cup marinara sauce (store-bought is fine, I won’t judge)
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella
– 1/4 cup pepperoni, diced
– 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– Optional toppings: mushrooms, bell peppers, olives (go wild!)
Okay queens, here’s how we make magic happen:
1. Slice those bagels in half. If they’re day-old, even better – they’ll get extra crispy!
2. Pop them in your toaster or under the broiler for a quick toast. We want them slightly golden, not burnt (nobody likes a midnight fire alarm situation).
3. Spread a generous spoonful of marinara on each bagel half. Don’t be shy with it!
