Instructions:

For the sundried tomato spread

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until chunky and spreadable (or until smooth if you prefer).

For the pizza bagels

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place the bagels on a parchment-lined sheet pan and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes before assembling the pizzas to prevent them from getting soggy.
3. Divide the sundried tomato spread evenly between the 4 bagel halves.
4. Top with equal amounts of the cheeses and sprinkle with the olives and additional sundried tomatoes (or whatever toppings you like).
5. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the arugula before eating.
