pizza bagel
Cheesy breakfast hybrid
A pizza bagel is a bagel half topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and pizza toppings, then baked or broiled until the cheese melts.
Popular as a quick snack or lunch, especially for children: Mom made us pizza bagels after school.
The frozen variety is a grocery store staple.
