Spider Web Pizza Bagels
Course Snack
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Oven
  • Spoon
  • Toothpicks

Ingredients
  

  • 4 plain bagels, split in half
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the bagel halves cut side up on the sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each half, leaving a small amount of sauce aside for the web design.
  • Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each bagel half.
  • Use a small spoon or squeeze bottle to add thin lines of the remaining pizza sauce in concentric circles on the cheese.
  • Drag a toothpick from the center outward through the circles to form a web pattern.
  • Add a few black olive slices to each bagel to create spider shapes.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly golden. Serve warm.

Notes

Use a zip-top bag with one corner snipped to pipe the sauce circles if you do not have a squeeze bottle. The web stays clearest when the sauce lines are thin and the cheese layer is even. Leftovers can be wrapped and reheated in a toaster oven to keep the bagel crisp.
