These fun and easy mummy themed Halloween pizzas make a great spooky snack, party food or teatime treat for kids!
My kids love an English muffin pizza, and so do I - they're so quick and easy to make! They're the perfect sized mini pizza for party food and I made a big batch of these mummy pizzas and pumpkin pizzas last year for our Halloween party - they went down a storm!
This is a great recipe to get the kids involved in making - older children can practice their knife skills by cutting the cheese into strips and younger children can help to arrange it all on the pizza. These mini pizzas are great for a spooky lunch time surprise too - they are just as delicious cold and perfect for popping in a lunch box!
I used sliced mozzarella cheese for these pizzas but any sliced cheese would do the job - gouda, edam, emmental or cheddar all work well for making mummy pizzas too.
Mini Mummy Halloween Pizzas Recipe
Ingredients (makes 4 mini pizzas):
- 2 English muffins
- 1 tbs Tomato puree
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 4 black olives
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4).
Cut each muffin in half to make 4 rounds pizza bases. Place them cut-side up on a baking tray.
Spread a thin layer of tomato puree over the cut sides of the muffins.
Using a round cutter that is roughly the same size as the muffin, cut 4 circles from the mozzarella cheese slices. Cut each circle into approx. six strips.
Arrange a set of cheese strips on the top of each muffin, layering them at different angles to create a mummy effect.
Slice the black olives into rings.
Arrange two black olive rings on the top of each pizza for eyes.
Bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is just melted.
Leave to cool for a few minutes before serving, or cool completely and pack in a lunch box.
Enjoy!
