How to Create Your Mini Halloween Pizzas
Ingredients:
- 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, drained
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 10-inch flour tortillas (See Tip 2)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 4 large black olives
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 2 Tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
- Prepare the Pizza Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mash or blend the mixture until you have a smooth sauce. Set aside.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush both sides of the flour tortillas with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
- Add the Sauce: Spread a layer of the pizza sauce over each tortilla, leaving a little space around the edges.
- Add Cheese and Olives: Arrange the mozzarella slices on top, creating different shapes like ghosts or pumpkins. Cut the cheddar cheese into shapes (like eyes or mouths) to decorate your pizzas. Use sliced olives to create spooky eyes or other decorations.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven, let them cool for a minute, and slice them into wedges. Enjoy your delicious mini Halloween treats!
Serving Suggestions for Your Halloween Pizzas
These delightful mini pizzas are fun to serve at Halloween parties. Lay them out on a festive tablecloth alongside other spooky snacks. Consider pairing them with a side of salad or cut-up vegetables for a complete meal. They’re also great for movie nights or as an after-school snack.
How to Keep Your Halloween Pizzas Fresh
If you have leftovers (which might be hard to imagine), store the pizzan in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up again. Alternatively, you can use a microwave for a quicker option, but the texture might be softer.
Tips to Make Your Halloween Pizzas Extra Special
- Customization: Feel free to use different toppings based on your preferences. Try pepperoni, bell peppers, or even pineapple for a twist.
- Use Cookie Cutters: If you want to get creative, use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to shape the cheese or even cut the tortillas into fun shapes before baking.
- Add Herbs: Sprinkle some additional dried herbs on top for an extra flavor boost.
Fun Variations on Mini Halloween Pizzas
For a healthier twist, try using whole wheat tortillas or a cauliflower crust. You can also make mini pizzas in different sizes by cutting the tortillas into smaller rounds. Consider making them as little bites or even on English muffins.
