Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
For each half of a bagel, evenly spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce. Top each with about 1 ounce of cheese and dot with a few mini pepperonis. Top all your bagel halves just like this. You should have 8. Lightly sprinkle each pizza bagel with a pinch of dried basil.
Bake them for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bagels are crispy around the edges. Serve them warm. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
