Making Ghostly Pizza Bagels is simple! Just follow these steps for a hauntingly delicious outcome:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Bagels: Slice each bagel in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom for each.

3. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the cut sides of the bagels with olive oil to enhance flavor and help crisp them in the oven.

4. Spread Pizza Sauce: Evenly spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the cut sides of each bagel.

5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring it’s well-covered to create a bubbly topping.

6. Decorate as Ghosts: Arrange pepperoni (or your choice of toppings) in a ghostly face design. Use black olives or slices of garlic for the eyes.

7. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the cheese for an additional flavor boost.

8. Bake: Place the assembled bagels on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. Cool Slightly: Once finished, remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.

10. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer to a serving platter while they are still warm and gooey!

By following these steps, you’ll create a batch of Ghostly Pizza Bagels that will impress any crowd, especially during Halloween festivities!
