Halloween means treats, and tricks to lots of us. It also means ingenious food ideas – and we’ve got some great ones for you on the site already, so we thought we would add a few more. How about this Halloween toast idea?
Prefect for breakfast on the day – or perhaps as a platter at a Halloween party? It’s mummy toast that your kids can make with you.
Alternatively, you can surprise them with the cute idea on the day for spooky brownie points!
Ingredients for your Halloween toast
- 2 Avocados, cut into thin strips to make the bandages for your mummy,
- Mini mozzarella balls (12)
- Your choice of cheese spread. We find that Marscapone, Goats Cheese and Cream Cheese all work well for this,
- Slices of bread (6)
- Seeds to go on the mummy to make the eyes (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, black sesame or even pumpkin seeds, you decide), as well as to sprinkle on your toast, and finally
- Seasoning, e.g. salt and pepper.
How to make your mummy toast
This is one of the simplest Halloween recipes for kids that you are going to find. It is six of the easiest steps imaginable!
- Grab a slice of your favourite bread, and pop it in the toaster. If your kids are anything like mine, then you might have to settle for a simple slice of White bread. However, do try other varieties – as the recipe works well with most of them,
- Whatever you have decided to use as your cream cheese, add a good dollop to the bread so that your mummy has clear definition,
- To make the bandages, take the strips of Avocado that you made, and add them to the top of the toast
- Your mozzarella balls are going to make the eyes, so add them whereever you want the mummy eyes to be – we’ve opted for the traditional; but you might want a squinty-eyed mummy for that extra spooky Halloween toast effect,
- Add the seeds in the centre of the eyes to make the pupils. we love the black sesame seeds here, but you can create a similar effect with whatever your favourite seed is here,
- Add your seed selection to the toast, and then complete with your seasoning. You decide how much to add, and its good to go!
Now you just need to do this again with your six slices of bread and you have made your spooky mummies; green run and fabulous!
