5 from 1 review

Made with leftovers from your refrigerator and freezer, these mini pizzas are easy to assemble and delicious too! A great project to do with your kids at Halloween!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 packages (6 in each package) garlic oven-baked flatbreads (4″ in diameter)
  • 1 cup pasta sauce or pizza sauce or leftover spaghetti sauce
  • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 3 slices American cheese
  • 1 small (mini) orange bell pepper
  • 6 black olives
  • 3 whole sun-dried tomato halves
  • 6 heirloom cherry tomatoes
  • 6 mini fresh buffalo Mozzarella balls
  • 3 leaves fresh basil, chiffonade
  • 3 tiny stems of basil (for the Goblin’s hair)
  • 3 leaves of fresh oregano leaves (for the pumpkin’s stem)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place flatbreads on cookie sheet (I used 2 cookie sheets – 6 on each).
  3. With a pastry brush, brush each flatbread with olive oil.
  4. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of pasta/pizza sauce onto each flatbread, spreading around with the back of a spoon.
  5. Divide shredded Mozzarella cheese over 9 of the flatbreads (you’ll have 3 with no shredded Mozzarella cheese).

To Make the Jack-O-Lantern:

  1. Cut out pumpkin shapes from 3 slices of American cheese using cookie cutter and place each on 3 of the flatbreads that already have shredded Mozzarella cheese.
  2. Cut mini orange bell pepper in half; seed and stem.
  3. Then cut 12 small triangles from the half of the pepper and place on top of American cheese with 3 triangles on each pumpkin for eyes (2) and nose (1) – you will have 3 triangles left for the Goblins’ noses.
  4. Cut 3 gnarly grins from the other half of the bell pepper and place on top of American cheese.
  5. Add an oregano leaf to each Jack-O-Lantern to represent the stem.

To Make Bats Under a Blood Red Moon:

  1. Cut 3 black olives in half lengthwise.
  2. Place half on 3 different flatbreads.
  3. Cut remaining 3 black olive halves in half again, trimming to fashion wings.
  4. Place wings on either side of bat’s body.
  5. Fold each of the sun-dried tomatoes in half, lengthwise.
  6. Using a paring knife, trim each to resemble a half moon (you’ll end up with 2 “moons” from each whole sun-dried tomato).
  7. Place one half moon on each bat flatbread (you’ll have 3 left for the Goblins’ grins).

To Make the Goblins:

  1. Place one half moon of sun-dried tomato on 3 flatbreads for the mouths.
  2. Cut 3 black olives in half and place on Goblin flatbreads as eyes.
  3. Add 3 reserved orange pepper triangles for noses.

To Make Bloody Pus-filled Brains:

  1. Quarter heirloom tomatoes and distribute on 3 flatbreads.
  2. Tear mini Mozzarella balls in pieces and place on and around heirloom tomatoes.

To Finish All Fright Night Mini Pizzas:

  1. Place in preheated oven and bake 10 minutes.
  2. Remove from oven.
  3. Garnish Bloody Pus-filled Brains with a scattering of fresh basil chiffonade.
  4. Serve immediately.

Notes

These are small pizzas (about equal to one slice of normal pizza). Serve 2 to 3, if serving adults.
