"A very simple recipe I whipped up in my dorm room, transforming a bagel into a pizza using common ingredients. The tastes go well together, and it sort of resembles the pizzas served in Moscow."

I expected it to be good, because how can you go wrong with sauce and cheese?! But this was delicious! The cream cheese adds a lot, I would have never thought to put it on there! I think I will be eating this for lunch every day. I put garlic powder and oregano on top of my cheese before I cooked it. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

Yummmmmmy! I used a whole wheat bagel (lightly toasted) and just realized I mixed the cream cheese and sauce instead of using them separate. Oops! Oh well LOL I added some Italian seasoning and garlic powder on top. Thanks for this quick, easy, tasty lunch!

Pffffft, just too easy to be so darn good! Made for Alphabet Soup Tag.

Very quick and easy lunch. I used a plain mini Thomas bagel, Hunt's spaghetti/pasta sauce, and a little bit of fresh onion. The cream cheese sweetened the sauce up just the way I like it! I'll be sure to use this mix for homemade pizza from now on. Thanks!

easy quick and delish. Tried it with Panera Breads Asiago Cheese bagel. I used provolone for my cheese (I'm going to try this with Jarlsburg next time) and a good marinara sauce. Thanks for such a great treat.
