Mummies in the Oven: A Delicious Recipe for Halloween Halloween is a celebration filled with magic, mystery, and of course, delicious treats! From carved pumpkins to spooky costumes, this festivity encourages us to let our imaginations run wild. This year, I suggest adding a dash of fun to your menu with a simple and captivating recipe: mummies in the oven! These snacks are not only delicious but also adorable, perfectly suited to brighten up any Halloween party. Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 10 minutes Total time: 30 minutes Number of servings: 6 Ingredients needed - 1 small onion - 2 garlic cloves - 2 tablespoons of oil - Salt and pepper, to taste - 2 tomatoes - 100 ml white wine - 2 tablespoons of ketchup - 200 g puff pastry (store-bought) - 200 g sliced flamenco cheese - Olives (green stuffed with peppers, for "eyes") - Oregano, for sprinkling Preparing the tomato sauce 1. Start by preparing the tomato sauce. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. 2. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant. 3. Dice the tomatoes and add them to the pan. Mix well and let them cook together for about 5 minutes. 4. Deglaze the mixture with the white wine and let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld. 5. Remove the pan from heat and add the ketchup, mixing it well into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Preparing the mummies 1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. 2. Roll out the puff pastry on a clean work surface. If you have a rolling pin, you can roll it out a bit to thin it slightly. 3. Use a glass or a cookie cutter to cut circles from the pastry. If you prefer, you can also cut mummy shapes or use pastry scraps to create bandages. 4. Place the pastry circles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush each circle with the prepared tomato sauce. 5. On each circle, add a few slices of flamenco cheese, and on top, place two slices of olives to simulate the mummies' eyes. 6. Sprinkle oregano on top for added flavor. Baking 1. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy. 2. Once the mummies are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serving Mummies in the oven can be served warm or cold, being delicious in both variations. These snacks can be accompanied by a yogurt sauce or chili sauce for an extra kick. If you want to share this recipe with friends, it would be wonderful to organize a small Halloween party where everyone brings a themed recipe! Chef's Tip If you want to make a variation of this recipe, you can replace the flamenco cheese with a mixture of ricotta and parmesan for a creamier filling. Additionally, adding slices of ham or vegetables to the filling can transform these mummies into a heartier snack. Nutritional Benefits These mummies in the oven are an excellent source of protein due to the cheese, and tomatoes are rich in antioxidants and essential vitamins. Thanks to the puff pastry, the recipe has a moderate calorie content, so enjoy in moderation! Frequently Asked Questions - Can I use another type of pastry? Yes, you can use pizza dough or even bread dough for a fluffier version. - How can I store the mummies in the oven? If you have leftover mummies, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat them in the oven to restore their crispiness. - What other drinks pair well with them? These snacks pair perfectly with a dry white wine or a fruit cocktail to add a touch of festivity! So, add a sprinkle of magic to this recipe and enjoy a Halloween atmosphere full of treats! Enjoy your meal and have fun cooking!
