Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a sheet of parchment paper with oil and place four circles of cheddar cheese on it, each slightly larger than a bagel.
Press the bottom half of each bagel slightly with the other half and place it on the cheese; bake for 5 minutes.
While the cheese base bakes, warm the bolognese sauce and spoon it onto the bottom half of each bagel, then top with grated mozzarella; bake for an additional 3–5 minutes.
Place the top halves of the bagels on the cheese base and bake for a few more minutes until the cheese becomes crispy.
Melt the butter with the garlic cloves, brush the mixture over the assembled bagels, and return them to the oven for 2 minutes.
Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
