HERE IS HOW TO MAKE MUMMY GARLIC BREAD:

WHERE CAN I FIND THESE INGREDIENTS?

You can easily find the ingredients to make Mummy Garlic Bread at your local grocery store. The recipe only has 3 ingredients which are garlic bread toasts, black olives and shredded mozzarella cheese which are typically available in the bakery or refrigerated sections. The “mummy” effect comes from the mozzarella cheese, which can be found in the dairy section. The black olives are used for the eyes! Most of these items are common and can be found at any large supermarket or even at smaller neighborhood stores.

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS?

The ingredients to make this delicious Mummy Garlic Bread are:

Garlic Bread or Texas Toast
Shredded Mozzarella
Sliced Black Olives

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?

Oh man, this recipe is so easy! All you’ll really need is a baking tray or you can even pop these in the air fryer if you’d like! You’ll need to cut the garlic bread into smaller slices so all you’ll really need is a cutting board and knife to achieve this. Since you’ll already be getting pitted and sliced black olives, no cutting is required for this. You’ll also want a baking tray so that you can bake these in the oven!

Here are my personal Amazon favorite kitchen items!

CAN I SUBSTITUTE/ADD ANYTHING OUT?

Since this recipe is only 3 ingredients, there isn’t really much that comes to mind with substitutions here! The only thing I can suggest that you can swap out is perhaps the bread. You can choose any bread that you already have on hand really but of course, garlic bread is the yummiest!

If you hate olives as I know not everyone loves olives, you can swap out the eyes for something else. You can making just do two dots of black cookie icing or make cut out two small circles out of seaweed/nori sheets!

WHAT DOES MUMMY GARLIC BREAD TASTE LIKE?

Mummy Garlic Bread offers a delicious combination of flavors and textures. The garlic bread creates a rich and savory base, while the melted mozzarella cheese adds a creamy and gooey element. The bread itself is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, providing a satisfying crunch and chewiness. The black olives used for the “eyes” add a slight briny contrast that enhances the overall flavor profile. The combination of garlic, butter, and cheese makes for a savory and indulgent treat that’s perfect for Halloween or any time you want a fun and tasty snack.

It honestly tastes like a pizza so you can enjoy this with a side of marinara or ranch sauce!

HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP FOR?

Mummy Garlic Bread typically lasts for about 2 to 3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. For the best freshness, it’s recommended to eat it within this time frame. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it for up to 1 month. To reheat, simply pop it back in the oven or toaster oven.

Honestly, you don’t even really need to prepare these ahead of time because they are so easy and require very little preparation. I would highly recommend just putting these together right before your meal!
