bagel bites...........

Growing up I have to admit that bagel bites were for sure one of my top 5 favorite foods, along with Taquitos and Spaghettio's I have actually been conflicted about buying these and feeding them to Owen because they are SO fake. So, I was thrilled when Wesley sent me this recipe for 

FLAX CRUST "BAGEL BITES"

There are so many great things about this flax crust. It’s totally flourless. It has four ingredients. It’s gluten-free. Thanks to the fiber level, it’s got almost no net carbs. Oh, and it has a crapton of Omega-3s and protein.  I plan on cooking these for dinner tonight, but the girl that first blogged about them said "Flavor and texture-wise, it doesn’t have that doughy, crunchy texture of normal pizza crust, but it does have an amazing, nutty, fluffy texture that makes one heck of a good pizza. "

Ingredients

• 1 cup finely-ground flaxseed
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Your favorite pizza toppings ( this is where i always sneak in good veggies, so I would grill up any you have in your fridge and throw them under the cheese!)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flax, eggs, Parmesan and oregano. Mixture will be sticky. Let rest for 5-10 minutes or until the crust is easy-to-handle.
3. To make pizza bites, take a small amount of the dough and form into a ball roughly 1-1/2″-2″ in diameter. Press into a flat, thin disc (about 1/4″ thick) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. You should have enough dough to make about a dozen mini crusts.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Remove from oven, top with pizza sauce, toppings and cheese. Return to oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is browned and bubbly.

I hope you will try them too!!!!!!
