Halloween Mini Mummy Pizzas Recipe

Directions

1. Set your oven to 400°F.
2. Brush the cut sides of the English muffins with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.
3. Sprinkle each muffin half with a pinch of garlic powder and salt.
4. Bake them cut side up for 6–7 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown.
5. While the muffins bake, get your toppings ready.
6. Slice cherry tomatoes thinly and season each slice with a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Chop the fresh basil.
7. Finely dice any extra toppings like bell peppers, red onion, and ham.
8. Make thin mozzarella strips by repeatedly pulling pieces off string cheese or by cutting the sticks into thin ribbons.
9. Take the baking sheet out of the oven.
10. Spread about 1½ tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each English muffin half.
11. Top the sauce with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
12. Add the chopped basil or whole basil leaves, then the seasoned cherry tomatoes and a pinch of salt.
13. Evenly distribute the diced peppers, onions, and ham over the mini pizzas.
14. Lay the mozzarella strips in a crisscross pattern to look like mummy bandages. Use two black olive slices for the eyes.
15. Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
16. Serve immediately for the best flavor. Store leftovers in the fridge for 1–2 days and reheat in the oven.
17. For bite-sized treats, use a pizza cutter to quarter the mummy pizzas into Halloween mummy pizza bites.
