Mummy Pizza Recipes

CRESCENT MUMMY PIZZAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• Separate crescent dough into 4 rectangles; press seams together. (If using crescent dough sheet, unroll and cut into 4 equal rectangles.) Using pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each rectangle crosswise in half. Place crescent squares on cookie sheet, and press out slightly. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown; remove from oven.
• Spread about 2 teaspoons of the pizza sauce on top of each crescent square. Top each with 8 strips of mozzarella cheese, alternating and overlapping strips to look like mummy bandages. Add 2 olive or pepperoni slices to each for eyes.
• Bake 2 to 3 minutes longer or until cheese slightly melts. Serve warm.

ENGLISH MUFFIN MUMMY PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the muffins split side up on a large rimmed baking sheet, brush the muffins with oil and bake until barely browned but slightly dried, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim the ends of the yellow squash and zucchini and cut them in half lengthwise, then thinly shave them with a vegetable peeler.
• Spread 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons of the marinara sauce onto each muffin half in an even layer, then sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese. Arrange 2 pepperoni slices on the upper third of each muffin half so they overlap slightly, then place an olive slice on each pepperoni slice to resemble eyes. Arrange the shaved yellow squash and zucchini to slightly cover the tops and bottoms of the olive slices, then place in slightly overlapping layers across each muffin half to resemble the cloth of a mummy. Trim the excess to 1/4 inch around the edges. Reserve any remaining squash for another use.
• Brush the mummy pizzas with oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the cheese melts and the squash wilts slightly, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with oregano and serve.
