Crazy Critter Bagel Sandwiches

Kids will love making these single-serve pizzas. You set out all the toppings, and they let their imaginations run wild while creating critter designs from the toppings.

8 bagels, split, or 8 English muffin halves, toasted
2 cups shredded mozzarella or Cheddar cheese (8 ounces)

Heat oven to 425 degrees F.

Spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce over each bagel half. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the cheese.
