Tips for Making Perfect Bagel Bites in the Microwave
Get creative with your toppings. Try using Canadian bacon and pineapple for a mini take on Hawaiian pizza. Add mini pepperonis and any vegetable you can pull from your produce drawers. Now is a great time to also utilize canned items. My favorites are black olives and artichoke hearts.
Keep an eye on your bagel while it is in the microwave to make sure that the cheese doesn’t overcook and ruin your pizza bagel bites. If you prefer extra crispy ‘crust’, leave your bagel in the toaster until toasted to your liking!
