Good to know

Chef's tip

For an extra crispy touch, you can lightly toast the bread slices before adding the tomato sauce and cheese. It adds a delicious texture to your mummy toasts! 😋

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The bread softens and the texture of the cooked cheese is not ideal after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 1 day max in an airtight container in the fridge. The bread softens quickly.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Assemble the toasts the day before. Store covered with plastic wrap in the fridge. Bake just before serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Ideally in the oven at 180°C for 5-8 minutes for crispiness. The air fryer is also an option (5 min at 170°C). Microwave not recommended for the texture.

Variations

Add a slice of ham under the cheese.
Swap the olives for peas or pieces of bell pepper.
Serve with a raw veggie salad.

Mistakes to avoid

Baking too long: the cheese should just start to melt slightly without melting completely.
Cutting the strips too wide: cut them into thin strips to mimic the bandages.
Forgetting the space for the eyes: leave a gap for the olive slices.
