Quick facts

Prep: 15 min

Cook: 10 min

Makes: 12 pizza bites

Level: Easy

Contains: Milk · Wheat (gluten)

Ingredients

  • 6 mini bagels, split
  • 3/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 12 large pitted black olives
  • Grated Parmesan, for serving

Step-by-step method

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Set the bagel halves cut side up on a baking sheet and toast 3 minutes.

  2. Spread each with about 1 tablespoon pizza sauce. Top with mozzarella and a pinch of Italian seasoning.

  3. Halve 6 olives lengthwise for the spider bodies. Slice the remaining olives lengthwise into thin slivers for legs.

  4. Set one olive half in the center of each pizza and arrange 4 legs on each side.

  5. Bake 7 to 9 minutes, until the cheese melts. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve warm.

Pro tip

Add a tiny dot of mozzarella to the front of each spider before baking. It melts into two little eyes.
