Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 zucchini
- 4 mozzarella string cheese
- 8 black olives slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F to prepare for baking the pizzas.
- Prepare the bread and vegetables: Cut each ciabatta roll in half lengthwise. Use a vegetable peeler to slice the zucchini into thin ribbons that resemble mummy bandages. Pull apart the mozzarella string cheese into thin strips.
- Assemble the pizzas: Place the ciabatta halves on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce evenly over the cut side of each bread half. Arrange the zucchini ribbons across the sauce in random criss-cross patterns to mimic mummy bandages. Layer the mozzarella strips over the zucchini, also criss-crossing them.
- Add the eyes: Place two black olive slices on each pizza half to create the mummy’s eyes.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is toasted to a golden crisp.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and delicious.
Notes
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Cheese substitutions: You can use shredded mozzarella if string cheese is unavailable.
- Olive options: Black olives can be substituted with green olives or small slices of pepperoni for the eyes.
- Zucchini alternative: Thinly sliced bell peppers or cooked strips of eggplant can be used if zucchini is not preferred.
- For a crispier crust, toast the ciabatta halves in the oven for 2-3 minutes before assembling.
