Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to broil on high to ensure the pizza melts evenly and crisps up perfectly.
  2. Prepare the Bagel: Slice your bagel in half and place each half on a baking sheet. This forms the base for your mini pizza.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Begin by layering 4 slices of deli ham on each half of the bagel. Add the provolone cheese on top of the ham. You can also add a few additional toppings, like pepperoni or vegetables, to elevate the flavor, but the basic recipe works just as well.
  4. Broil: Place the prepared bagels under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to ensure the cheese doesnโ€™t brown, as it should stay creamy and golden.
  5. Serve Immediately: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before enjoying your delicious, high-protein bagel pizza.

Tips for Best Results:

  • Use Fresh Bagels: A fresh bagel will yield the best results for a crispy yet chewy base. If your bagels are a bit stale, lightly toast them before adding the toppings.
  • Add Some Extra Flavor: Consider adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or even a drizzle of olive oil before broiling for added flavor.
  • Use Other Cheeses: Feel free to swap provolone with mozzarella, cheddar, or any cheese that melts well to suit your taste.
  • Make It a Meal: Pair your bagel pizza with a light salad or some roasted veggies for a well-rounded lunch or dinner.
