• Turn off heat and let cool.
• After the mixture has cooled, stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasonings, garlic powder, sliced olives and the mozzarella cheese. Mix well and set aside.
• Take out a large baking sheet with sides, like one that you would use to bake cookies.
• Split open the bagels, laying them down, split side up, on the baking sheet.
• Add around 2 Table. of the vegetable/cheese mixture on top of each bagel half. You may have enough filling to make more bagels.

• To serve: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place desired number of bagel bites on a baking sheet and bake for around 23 minutes. Eat at once while still hot.
