Fun Halloween Food: Mummy Bread & Spaghetti Bowl

Easy Mummy Garlic Bread Recipe

Introduction: Halloween just got a whole lot spookier with this fun, kid-friendly mummy garlic bread! Perfect for a Halloween-themed dinner, this dish combines savory garlic bread with mozzarella cheese and black olives to create an adorable mummy face.

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 12 minutes | Total Time: 22 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 French bread loaf
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 mozzarella string cheese sticks
• Black olive halves (for eyes)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Cut the French bread in half, then lengthwise. Slice each half into 2-inch pieces and arrange them on the baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and salt.
4. Spread the garlic butter mixture over each slice of bread.
5. Bake the garlic bread in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
6. Peel the mozzarella string cheese into thin strips and place them over the garlic bread, creating a mummy wrap design.
7. Place two black olive halves on each piece of garlic bread to form eyes.
8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and serve the mummy garlic bread alongside a bowl of spaghetti for a spooky Halloween dinner.

Pro Tips:

• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for the best crispy texture.
• Substitutions: If you don’t have mozzarella string cheese, shredded mozzarella can be used, though it won’t give the same “wrap” effect.
• Make-Ahead: You can prepare the garlic bread in advance and add the cheese and olives just before baking.
