Why Healthy Veggie Pizza Bagel?
Pizza is fun for everyone and I think it is a great way to incorporate vegetables in your diet. If done right, it can actually be really healthy too. Hear me out, in appropriate amounts, mozzarella is a great source of protein and calcium. Also, you can easily use your favourite multigrain bagel, an assortment of vegetables and you have yourself a complete meal.
Plus who doesn’t like pizza? This is my favourite way to enjoy veggies when I am feeling like pizza and anyways, which pizzeria is open if you are craving this for breakfast?
Pizza Bagel Recipe
I enjoy bagels when they are warm enough to become soft and fluffy, while still being lightly toasted. The best way I can enjoy my pizza bagels this would, with a molten bubbly cheese is under the oven broiler.
You can use any one of your favourite bagels, except the sweet variety. That probably won’t pair well with the tomato sauce and vegetables. I enjoy either cheese or everything bagels for this recipe.
1. For the sauce, simply add passata (strained tomatoes) to a small bowl, sprinkle with salt, oregano, drizzle of olive oil and chilli flakes if desired. Mix well and spread on the bagel on each half of the bagel.
2. Add some shredded mozzarella, cheddar, onion, mushroom and spinach. Cover the spinach with some of the cheese to avoid the spinach from burning. Place the bagel on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack.
3. Place oven rack at second highest position in oven, turn on the broiler. Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil for about 5-8 minutes until cheese is light golden brown.
4. Cook until desired doneness, I like my cheese molten with some brown spots.
5. Top with sliced avocado and serve hot!
