Ingredients
Scale
- 4 English muffins (split in half) or 8 mini pizza crusts
- 1 cup high-quality pizza sauce
- 4 slices of mozzarella cheese (for the ghosts)
- 4 sticks of string cheese (for the mummies)
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- Optional: Dried oregano or garlic powder for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy. Split your English muffins or lay out your mini pizza crusts on the prepared tray. Spread about one to two tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each base, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle a little oregano or garlic powder over the sauce if you like extra seasoning.
- To create the ghosts, use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter on the mozzarella slices, or simply use a knife to cut freehand wavy shapes. Place one ghost in the center of four pizza halves. For the mummies, pull the string cheese into thin strips. Lay the strips across the remaining four pizza halves in a “crisscross” pattern, leaving a small gap near the top for the eyes. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is just beginning to melt. Watch closely so the ghosts do not melt into puddles!
- Once removed from the oven, let the pizzas sit for one minute to set. Immediately place two olive slices on each ghost and mummy to serve as eyes. Arrange the pizzas on a festive platter. Serve warm while the cheese is gooey and the crust is perfectly crunchy. These pair perfectly with a side of “swamp juice” (green fruit punch) or a simple side salad.
