Bagel Pizzas

Okay, so it's been a while.

So my cutie pie pre-teen talked me into blogging this super easy recipe, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. Or did. They're gone. Snarfed down without a trace.

Start with a bagel. Today we chose whole wheat bagels, but onion, garlic, sesame seed, poppy seed, jalapeno, or plain bagels also work great.
Slice it in half.Spread cream cheese on each half. Be generous here; you want to cover up that pesky hole in the middle.
Now add a scoop of spaghetti sauce over the cream cheese layer.
Top with desired variety of cheese. We were boring today and used cheddar. (It's my ultimate food weakness right now... I just can't get enough cheddar cheese!)
Top it off with a giant slice of pepperoni. (Or don't.) We also used sliced ham, but really go crazy here according to whatever your tastes dictate.
If you're making lunch for a bunch of ravished people, repeat the process on lots of bagels. We can always count on everyone eating two halves. They're that good.
Stick the bagels on a cookie sheet and place on the middle rack of your oven under broil. Watch these pizzas, because they cook fast!

This is what 3 minutes looked like:

...and they were delicious!
