Ingredients
-
2 English muffins, split in half
-
¼ cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
-
2 mozzarella cheese sticks
-
3 green olives with pimentos
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the English muffin halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
2. Toast the Muffins
Bake the muffin halves for 5 minutes to lightly toast them. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
3. Add the Pizza Sauce
Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza or marinara sauce over each English muffin half, covering the cut surface.
4. Create the Mummy Bandages
Peel the mozzarella cheese sticks into thin strings. Arrange the cheese strips across each muffin in overlapping layers, leaving small gaps for the mummy’s eyes.
Slice the green olives into rings and place two rings on each mini pizza to create eyes.
5. Bake Until Melty
Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese melts. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
-
Peel the cheese into thin strips: Thinner pieces are easier to arrange and create a classic wrapped-mummy look.
-
Leave gaps for the eyes: Position the olive rings before adding the final cheese strips so the faces stay visible.
-
Toast the muffins first: This helps keep the bases from becoming soggy under the sauce.
-
Use full-fat mozzarella: It generally melts more smoothly than reduced-fat varieties.
-
Customize the faces: Add bell pepper strips for mouths or use small pieces of black olive for extra spooky expressions.
