Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉.

Place the English muffin halves on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.

Remove muffins from oven and spread 1 tablespoon of the pizza sauce onto each English muffin half.

Peel the mozzarella sticks into strings and decoratively arrange them on top of each English muffin. Slice the green olives into 1/4 inch thick rings and place them on top of the cheese to create eyes.

Bake mummies for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your English Muffins First 🍳
Lightly toast the English muffin halves before adding toppings to create a sturdy base that prevents sogginess and helps the cheese melt more evenly.
Partially Cook the Cheese Bandages 🧀
Briefly warm the mozzarella string cheese in the microwave (10-15 seconds) before wrapping around the mummy to make it more pliable and help it adhere better during baking.
Strategic Olive Placement for Eyes 👀
Place your olive-pimento eyes before the final bake so the pimento (red center) stays vibrant and visible, creating an authentic spooky expression.
Use a Broiler for Quick Melting ⚡
Finish your pizza mummies under the broiler for 1-2 minutes instead of a full oven bake to melt the cheese quickly while keeping the English muffin base from becoming too dry.
Apply Sauce Strategically 🎨
Spread marinara sauce in a thin, even layer only on the base before toppings to prevent the muffin from becoming waterlogged while ensuring every bite has flavor.
