Pizza Mummy and Jack-O-Lantern Pizza with Recipe

Pizza is always popular with Nikolai, he doesn't mind eating them either hot or cold. These pizzas are made from English muffins and the result was very tasty indeed, but I've also made some out of Pillsbury biscuit dough which you can find here. As often is the case, we doubled up the recipe and decided to experiment a little creating different themes.

Nikolai helped with the pizza faces and I think this is a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen. Often times I get him to help in the kitchen with activities from whisking and cutting to cooking and baking. It's also a great time and opportunity to teach him valuable skills for his future. His favorite question to me is usually, "Mom, what is your secret ingredient?" LOL.

In this bento lunch: English muffin pizzas. The one on the left is Jack -O-Lantern with mozzarella cheese cut with my Jack-O-Lantern cutter. The other is a mummy pizza for which I used strips of string cheese and a couple slices of a black olive. Above and to the left are some organic baby carrots and to the right is a container of apple sauce decorated with a mummy cupcake ring. This lunch was packed in a Bentology living lunchbox. You can find the recipe below.

Ingredients:

• 2 english muffins, cut in half
• 8 teaspoons pizza sauce
• 2 mozzarella cheese sticks
• 1 slice of mozzarella cheese
• Black olives

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400℉.
2. Place the English muffin halves on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.
3. Remove muffins from oven and spread 2 teaspoons of the pizza sauce onto each English muffin half.
4. For the Mummy: Peel the mozzarella sticks into strings and decoratively arrange them on top of each English muffin. Place the sliced olives on top of the cheese to create eyes.
5. The one on the left is Jack -O-Lantern with mozzarella cheese cut with my Jack-O-Lantern cutter.
6. Bake them for 3 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
7. Enjoy!
