Saga Blue and Apricot Pizzettes

Submitted by Ms B.

"Sage Blue was recomended for this recipe because of its very smooth texture. However, if unavailable, Maytag Blue or another creamy blue cheese can be substituted. Also, the mini bagels may be replaced with your favorite yeast pizza dough. Just make small (2-inch) diameter crusts for the appetizers."
