Girl, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that’ll have your taste buds doing the happy dance! As someone who’s notorious for late-night cravings, I’ve perfected these Loaded Pizza Bagel Bites that are totally worth breaking your diet for (sorry not sorry! 😉).
Picture this: perfectly toasted mini bagels topped with gooey melted cheese, crispy pepperoni, and a secret sauce that’ll make you want to lick your fingers clean. Trust me, these aren’t your basic frozen pizza bites – these are the real deal!
Here’s what you’ll need (serves 2-3 hungry night owls):
– 4 mini bagels, sliced
– 1/2 cup marinara sauce
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella
– 1/4 cup grated parmesan
– Mini pepperoni slices
– Italian seasoning
– Garlic powder
– Red pepper flakes (if you’re feeling spicy!)
The secret sauce mix (trust me on this):
Mix the marinara with 1 teaspoon of honey and a pinch of garlic powder. This little twist makes ALL the difference!
Let’s get cooking:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (or use your air fryer at 350°F)
2. Split those bagels and lay them out on a baking sheet
3. Spread that secret sauce mixture generously
4. Sprinkle both kinds of cheese (don’t be shy!)
5. Add pepperoni and seasonings
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
