Make a Not-So-Stuffed Pizza Bagel: Combine 1/4 cup of shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese, 2 Tablespoons of low-fat ricotta cheese and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning. Divide the cheese mixture between the bottom halves of the four bagels, and top each with 2 Tablespoons of pizza sauce. Cover with the bagel tops and heat as directed.
For a lunchtime sandwich, hollow out the bagels and toast them in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes, and then fill each with 1/2 cup of chicken, tuna or turkey salad.
step 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the bagels in half horizontally and hollow out the insides by pulling out most of the soft, bready interior.
step 2 Spread one Tablespoon of cream cheese (or sprinkle two Tablespoons of shredded cheese) on the bottom half of each bagel.
step 3 Spoon 2 Tablespoons of salsa evenly over the cheese, covering the bottom half of each bagel, followed by the scrambled eggs and bacon pieces. Cover with the bagel tops.
step 4 Heat bagels in the oven directly on the oven rack until hot, about 5 to 7 minutes.
