Easy Mini Halloween Pizzas (Print version)
Crispy mini tortilla pizzas topped with cheese ghosts, olive spiders, mummies, and cheddar pumpkins for an easy Halloween snack.
# Ingredients:
For the crusts
01 -
3 thin 10-inch flour tortillas
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil, for brushing
03 -
1/2 cup (120 ml) pizza sauce
For the decorations
04 -
4 slices low-moisture mozzarella cheese
05 -
1 cup (115 g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
06 -
2 slices cheddar cheese
07 -
6 large black olives, pitted
08 -
1 small piece green bell pepper
09 -
Pinch of dried oregano, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil.
02 -
Cut six 4 1/2 to 5-inch circles from the flour tortillas. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
03 -
Cook the tortilla rounds in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden and crisp. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
04 -
Cut mozzarella into ghost shapes and thin mummy strips. Cut cheddar into pumpkin shapes. Slice olives into eyes, spider bodies, and legs. Cut a tiny bell pepper stem for the pumpkin.
05 -
Spread about 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce on each crust. Add shredded mozzarella to one crust for the spider pizza. Bake for 5-6 minutes, until the sauce is hot and bubbling at the edges.
06 -
Remove the tray from the oven. Arrange the cheese shapes and olive pieces on the hot pizzas, then return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese softens but still holds its shape.
07 -
Let the mini pizzas cool for 2 minutes before serving so the toppings settle and the crusts are easier to pick up.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served warm, shortly after baking.
02 -
Prep the cheese and olive decorations ahead for faster party assembly.
03 -
Use thin tortillas for the crispiest crust.
