A Spooky Twist on Garlic Bread

French bread with mozzarella cheese and olive eyes made to look like a mummy for a fun halloween snack.

Garlic bread is already a crowd-pleaser, but give it a Halloween costume and suddenly it’s the star of the party. This Mummy Garlic Bread is topped with stretchy mozzarella “bandages” and a pair of olive slice eyes, making it equal parts spooky and cute for a unique take on mummy garlic bread.

It’s a quick way to add something savory to a Halloween table (because let’s be real, sometimes you need a break from all the sugar). Serve it with pasta for a festive dinner, or set it out as a snack that’ll disappear almost as fast as a bowl of candy. Mummy garlic bread is perfect for such occasions.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 loaf garlic French bread (store-bought or homemade)
String cheese or mozzarella cheese slices
Black olives (sliced for eyes)

How to Make Mummy Garlic Bread

Preheat the Oven – Heat to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prep the Bread – Slice the garlic bread into halves or smaller pieces and place them on the sheet. Add your mummy garlic bread twist by arranging the cheese and olives creatively.
Add the Bandages – Pull apart string cheese or cut mozzarella into thin strips. Lay them across the bread in a crisscross pattern so they look like mummy wrappings for your garlic bread.
Add the Eyes – Place two olive slices near the top of each piece.
Bake – Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese melts and bubbles.

Tip: Marinara sauce makes the perfect “blood” dip on the side.
