Description
Easy Spooky Mummy Toast turns basic bread and cheese into a fun, creepy Halloween snack. With melted mozzarella ‘bandages’ and olive ‘eyes,’ this recipe takes less than five minutes and is perfect for kids, parties, or a quick festive treat.
Ingredients
Bread: 2 slices white or wheat bread
Cheese: 2-3 slices mozzarella or provolone
Base Spread: 2 tbsp cream cheese, mayonnaise, or mashed avocado
Eyeballs: 2 large olive slices, capers, or mini pepperonis with a dot of cream cheese
Optional Garnish: Everything bagel seasoning, red pepper flakes, or paprika
Instructions
1. Lightly toast the bread slices until firm.
2. Spread cream cheese, mayo, or avocado evenly over each slice.
3. Tear cheese slices into ragged strips and lay across toast, leaving a gap for eyes.
4. Broil for 60-90 seconds until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Press olive or caper ‘eyes’ into the gap immediately.
6. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
Best served immediately; cheese will congeal and toast soften if stored.
Cheese strips can be prepped ahead for faster assembly.
Use thin, meltable cheese slices like mozzarella for optimal ‘bandage’ effect.
Vegan or gluten-free versions work with suitable substitutions.
Optional toppings: sprinkle paprika or bagel seasoning for added effect.
