A quick summer lunch featuring all those ripe summer tomatoes
I love pizza bagels.
They are the perfect shortcut to a delicious, cheesy, fresh pizza. No need (no pun intended) to knead dough and let it rise for what feels like hours. Simply grab those bagels (stale or not!), top with your favorite toppings, and bake. Simple. Plus, they make the perfect personal-size pizzas!
Summer eats/snacks at their best? I think so.

Tomato, Ham, and Cheese Pizza Bagels.
- 1 bagel (I use a vegetable bagel.), cut in half
- 2 tablespoons hummus (I used spinach artichoke hummus.)
- 4 slices ham (I used black forest ham.)
- 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- fresh basil, chopped
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place bagel halves on baking sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on each bagel half. Top each half with 2 slices of ham. Top with mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes, and additional mozzarella. Sprinkle sesame seeds, garlic salt, parsley, and oregano on top.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Top with fresh basil, serve, and enjoy!
