Ghost Pizza Bagels are a fun and festive twist on traditional pizza, perfect for Halloween or any spooky-themed occasion. These mini pizzas use bagels as a base, topped with savory pizza sauce, melted mozzarella, and decorated with black olives to create ghostly faces. Easy to make and delicious, they’re a great treat for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale

Bagels

  • 4 plain or whole wheat bagels, sliced in half

Pizza Sauce

  • 1/2 cup store-bought or homemade pizza sauce

Cheese

  • 1 1/2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings

  • 12 black olives, sliced or halved for eyes
  • Optional: 12 slices of pepperoni, cut into ghost shapes or whole

Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure the bagels toast nicely and the cheese melts perfectly.
  2. Prepare the Bagels: Slice the bagels in half and arrange them cut side up on a baking sheet. For a festive look, you can cut the bagels into ghost or pumpkin shapes using a knife or cookie cutters.
  3. Add Pizza Sauce: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce evenly over each bagel half, covering the entire surface for full flavor.
  4. Sprinkle Mozzarella Cheese: Pile shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, ensuring each bagel has a thick, gooey layer for melting.
  5. Create Ghost Faces: Place black olive halves or slices on the cheese to form spooky eyes. If using pepperoni, arrange the slices as ghost shapes or simply add for extra flavor and decoration.
  6. Season and Bake: Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over each bagel. Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to turn golden brown.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Best eaten warm for that melty cheese goodness.

Notes

  • You can use whole wheat bagels for a healthier option.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with vegetables or other meats to suit your taste.
  • For an extra crispy crust, lightly toast the bagels before adding toppings.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • If you want to make this recipe vegan, substitute cheese with a plant-based alternative and ensure pizza sauce contains no animal products.
