Microwave Pizza

Pizza. Most people love it, and it has numerous varieties. For an easy version, make bagel pizza.

Ingredients:
1 bagel (Use both halves or just one, depending on how hungry you are. I used both!)
2-4 spoonfuls of pizza sauce, or a packet of sauce
shredded cheese, depending on tastes; preferably use mozzarella, cheddar, and/or parmesan (I added provolone to mine, so again, it all depends on your tastes.)
oregano (optional)
any other toppings, such as pineapple, ham, sausage, pepperoni, etc. (optional)

Toaster Oven Version:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2) Toast the bagel. Toaster times depend on the toaster. For reference, I toasted mine for 3 minutes.
3) Add sauce, spreading evenly over the bagel.
4) Sprinkle cheese on top, again spreading evenly.
5) Place in oven until cheese is melted.
6) Enjoy!

Microwave Version:
1) Microwave bagel. If it needs to be defrosting, do so first for about 1.5 minutes. If not, microwave for only 10-20 seconds. You could also omit this step if you are in a hurry, but keep in mind that your pizza might not be as warm when you eat it.
2) Add sauce, spreading evenly over the bagel.
3) Sprinkle cheese on top, again spreading evenly.
4) Microwave again for 30 seconds to 1 minute (until cheese is melted).
5) Enjoy!

If you do add oregano, or another spice of your choice, add it either before you melt the cheese or after.
If you add other toppings, add before you melt the cheese.

Hope you enjoy this simple meal!

  1. Yay for two versions! I feel like I've influenced your blogging :D
    PS - Add oregano either before you melt the cheese or after? So if it doesn't matter, why'd you say anything about when to add it? Just curious
