- 8 black olive slices from 2 olives
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese 0.75 oz each
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.

- Slice the mozzarella cheese into strips.
- Place the bread, cut side up on a baking sheet.
- Spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce on each piece.

- Bake in the center rack until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the bread is crisp, about 8 minutes.
Notes
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last up to three days, but they’re best enjoyed fresh.
- Freezing: You can freeze the assembled mummies before baking. Wrap them tightly and store them in the freezer for up to one month. Bake from frozen.
- Pairing: These mummies pair well with a fresh salad or some steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Make it spicy: Add some crushed red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce for a little kick!
