Okay, with Halloween right around the corner, what better than yummy Mummy Pizza?! The important thing to note about this pizza is that not only is it “from the dead”, but it’s good for you! This pizza is gluten free. The crust is actually a spinach and chicken patty. Throw on some creative toppings and you’ll have yourself a fun, easy to create Mummy Pizza.
First job, make the base. Simply put the base ingredients together and mix with your hands. This might be a fun meal to make with kids or grandkids.
Once mixed together, form 8 balls and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Flatten to about 1cm (1/3 of an inch) thick with your fingers.
Bake the patties. I used ground turkey, but you could use ground chicken as well. Let the patties cool to the touch and then add your toppings, starting with the pizza sauce. I made my own pizza sauce by simply adding spices to tomato sauce.
After you’ve spread the pizza sauce on the patties, add a large thinly sliced tomato and olives for the eyes of the mummy. “String” the cheese from the string cheese and place across the pizza making it look a mummy head. Place in oven again to allow the cheese to melt and brown slightly. Serve immediately. Your kids or guests will eat ’em up!
Halloween Mummy Paleo Pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 pkg ground turkey or chicken (454 grams)
- 1 small grated onion
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 2 tbsp kraft parmesan cheese
- pinch chili flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup blended spinach (about 1 cup fresh)
- 1/3 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 tsp each of basil, onion powder, garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 8 mozza strings, separated in strings
- 1 large tomato sliced (beefsteak)
- 4-5 each of green and black or kalamata pitted olives
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350F.
-
Put turkey/chicken, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, parmesan cheese, and chili flakes in a mixing bowl.
-
Put spinach and egg in a magic bullet or blender and mix into a pesto like consistency.
-
Add spinach to the mixing bowl. Mix together with your hands and form 8 balls. Place each ball on cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and squish flat with your fingers to about 1cm thick or 1/3 inch thick.
-
Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to the touch.
-
Add 1 tbsp pizza sauce to each patty. Place one thinly sliced tomato on top.
-
For the eyes, slice in circles and layer the green olives and black olives on the upper half of the tomato. Make strings with the string cheese and arrange on pizzas like a mummy. Copy the picture! Remember as the cheese melts, it spreads, so leave spaces between cheese strings for a more authentic looking mummy!
-
Turn oven to 400F and put back in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and slightly browned on the edges – like real pizza! Keep an eye on it, it bakes quickly!
Serve immediately or eat the next day cold – again, just like cold pizza!
