Notes

Use a different base sauce.Not a fan of traditional pizza sauce? No problem! Use a pesto, BBQ,  basil, or ranch dressing instead.
Cheesy bagel bites.Make a mini version of 4-cheese pizza using a blend of mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, goat, or cheddar cheese.
Sweet bagel bites.Enjoy dessert-style bagel bites with cream cheese, almond butter, strawberry jam, banana, and Nutella toppings.
