Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag (approx. 40 count) frozen pizza rolls, any flavor
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese pearls or thin mozzarella slices
- 1 small can sliced black olives
- 1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
- Fresh parsley or dried oregano for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This prevents the pizza rolls from sticking and ensures the “ghost” cheese doesn’t glue itself to the pan. Arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the pizza rolls for about 8 minutes. You want them to be hot and slightly crisp, but not fully finished yet. Watch them closely to ensure they do not burst open before you get to the decorating stage.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Carefully place a small slice of mozzarella or a slightly flattened mozzarella pearl on top of each pizza roll. Do not worry about making them perfect circles; the heat will melt the cheese into natural, flowing ghost shapes that drape over the sides of the rolls.
- Quickly place two small pieces of sliced black olives onto the melting cheese to act as the ghost eyes. If you want a “scared” ghost, add a third small olive piece for a mouth. Return the pan to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly but not browned.
- Slide the finished ghosts onto a serving platter. Serve them immediately while the cheese is gooey. Place a bowl of warm marinara sauce in the center for dipping, and sprinkle a little dried oregano over the tray for a finished look.
