When you find some Keto-friendly bagels at the grocery store, pick them up. I started my love for bagels in college as a Freshman when I needed a quick go-to lunch rushing between one class and another. The university I went to at the time had a little snack bar that served toasted bagels with cream cheese and butter. I remember feeling so sheltered because I had never heard of such a thing. I gave it a whirl, and from the first bite, I was hooked. Those bagels probably helped me to gain the usual Freshman 15 back in those days. Now that I am on a Keto diet, the butter and cream cheese aren’t really an issue; it’s trying to find a decent bagel that is an issue. Keto bagels are hard to find. When I saw Aldi selling Keto bagels, I thought I was in another world! I bought a pack, thinking that surely they would not be very good; however, they were good! I went back and bought several more packs because it was a “here today gone tomorrow item.” Aldi really means that, too. Now, I am able to have my toasted bagels with cream cheese and butter again. It’s a wonderful thing!
Bagels have many other uses as well, Try these bagel pizzas for another quick lunch idea. You can place any kind of pizza topping that you like to accommodate your taste. The recipe in this post is similar to a supreme pizza style, which is my favorite.
Ingredients
1 Keto pizza bagel (or whatever kind of bagel you like. It doesn’t have to be Keto if you do not need a Keto bagel)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
3-4 button mushrooms, sliced
1/4 green pepper, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
If you want the bagel a little more on the crunchy side, you can toast it in a toaster; otherwise, you can place the two bagel halves on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Spread the pizza sauce over the bagels.
Top with your favorite pizza toppings. I used black olives, green pepper, mushrooms and onion. You could also use pepperoni, sausage, green olives, artichokes, or whatever floats your boat. The sky is the limit here!
Top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese melts. This is a super fast lunch especially if you have all the toppings chopped up and ready to go beforehand.
