Ingredients
Scale
- 4 English muffins (split in half) or small pre-made pizza crusts
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 8 pieces of string cheese or slices of mozzarella cheese
- 1 can of sliced black olives
- Optional: Pepperoni slices or finely chopped bell peppers (to hide under the cheese)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the pizzas from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Place your English muffin halves or pizza crusts onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each piece, covering it almost to the edges.
- If using string cheese, pull it apart into thin strips. If using sliced mozzarella, cut the slices into thin ribbons. Lay the strips of cheese across the sauce-covered bases in a staggered, crisscross pattern to look like mummy bandages. Be sure to leave a small gap near the top for the “eyes.”
- Place two sliced black olives in the gap you left between the cheese strips on each pizza. These will serve as the eyes looking out from the bandages. If you want a “pupil,” you can place a tiny piece of green bell pepper or a drop of sauce in the center of the olive hole.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. You want the cheese to be melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread to be slightly crisp. Watch closely so the cheese doesn’t brown too much, as you want the “bandages” to stay white.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly so the “eyes” don’t slide off when you serve them.
