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 olives, sliced into rounds
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the French bread into ¾-inch thick rounds or ovals and lay them cut-side up on the tray.
3. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt until well combined.
4. Spread the garlic butter evenly over each slice of bread.
5. Peel the mozzarella string cheese into thin strips and crisscross them over each bread piece to create a mummy wrap effect.
6. Place two black olive slices near the top of each bread slice to create eyes.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Serve warm.
Notes
Use slightly stale bread for a crispier base.
You can toast the bread for 5 minutes before adding cheese for extra crunch.
To make it vegan, swap in dairy-free butter and vegan mozzarella.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 days or frozen and reheated in the oven.
