Cut bagels in half and place them face up on workspace. Spread tomato sauce in a thin layer, then add toppings. By making a variety of toppings, they won't get boring in lunches. Sprinkle with cheese then broil in oven until cheese melts.
Cool completely and package them individually (half a bagel per bag). Freeze.

Can be put into school lunches frozen, and they will thaw by lunchtime.
These are also great for after-school snacks. You can also switch to whole wheat bagels to make them healthier.
