# What You’ll Need:
→ Base

4 English muffins, split in half
→ Sauce
02 -
½ cup pizza sauce
→ Cheese
03 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 -
8 mozzarella slices, cut into strips
→ Toppings
05 -
4 pitted black olives, halved
→ Optional
06 -
Olive oil, for brushing
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Split the English muffins in half and optionally brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil for enhanced crispness and flavor.
02 -
Place the muffin halves on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes until they become slightly crisp to prevent sogginess.
03 -
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly on each muffin half, leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then arrange the mozzarella strips crisscrossed to mimic mummy bandages.
04 -
Place two halves of black olives near the top of each muffin half to serve as the mummy’s eyes.
05 -
Transfer the prepared muffins to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and the edges are golden and crisp.
06 -
Allow the mini mummy pizzas to cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid hot cheese burns. Arrange on a platter for a festive presentation.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Pre-toasting the muffin halves ensures a crispy base that resists sogginess once the toppings are added.
02 -
Use a variety of mozzarella widths to create a realistic 'bandage' effect.
03 -
For alternative 'eyes,' try halved cherry tomatoes or yellow bell pepper rounds, keeping size proportional.
04 -
Custom toppings can be added, but avoid thick layers to maintain the mummy appearance.
