How to make Mummy mini Pizzas?

These mummy mini pizzas are easy to make. You’ll use English muffins for the crust base, just cut them in half down the middle to open them up.

Spread about a spoonful of pizza or marinara sauce onto each half. You can make a homemade sauce or just use any store bought canned sauce that you like.

Then for the mummy bandages you’ll use thin strips of string cheese for your cheese on top. The string cheese holds its shape a lot more than traditional shredded mozzarella cheese, and gives the pizzas the perfect bandaged mummy look. Separate your string cheese into pieces, by pulling it apart and layer the pieces all over the top of your English muffin in a criss cross pattern to create a mummy look.

Place sliced black olives for the eyes and pop in the oven to bake. Bake till the cheese starts to melt and the muffins turn golden. Voila.

You can also cook your mini pizzas longer than I did if you want the cheese to melt a little more, but you will lose the bandaged look the longer you cook them. I cooked mine for about 8-10 minutes.

If you want toppings on your pizzas, put them under the cheese instead of on top so you can keep that great mummy shape. You don’t want to use too many because you don’t want them to be too bumpy, but something like pepperoni works great.

Instead of English muffins you could also use canned biscuits (slightly flatten each biscuit – bake according to package directions), bagels, rhodes rolls (allow to thaw completely, but don’t raise – bake for about 10 minutes or until cheese is cooked and roll edges look golden)

These are such a cute and fun Halloween meal. I just know your kids will love helping you spread the sauce, or layer the cheese onto the mummies.

These mummy pizzas are so fun for Halloween, and so easy to make! You can prepare them and bake them in only like 15 minutes, and that’s a win if I do say so myself! This halloween pizza is a delicious treat that can even double as an easy school snack.

Tips and Tricks

Use parchment paper to prevent sticking if you are worried about the pizzas sticking to your pan
Make sure to add some of your favorite toppings if you want- a sprinkle of crumbled sausage could add a “dirt” look to your mummy pizza
Try using a pizza cutter to slice the cheese sticks vertically to save time when making multiple pizzas to make quick thin slices of cheese into thin ribbons
If you like french bread pizza you will love these mini pizzas- they have a little crunch and a similar texture
You can sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top without it changing the appearance too much
