• Frozen peas, 8 peas (or 4 olive slices)
• Plate or tray, 1 baking tray

How to do it

Grown-up prep: A grown-up preheats the oven or toaster oven to 400°F in the first step. Cut cheese into thin strips and slice olives. The grown-up does all the toasting and takes the tray out.

1. A grown-up preheats the oven to 400°F. A grown-up does this
2. Wash your hands and line up your bread on the tray.
3. Scoop a spoonful of tomato sauce onto your bread.
4. Spread the sauce all the way out with the back of the spoon.
5. Lay a mozzarella strip across your mummy like a bandage.
   Ask: Which way will your first bandage go?
6. Add more strips in a crisscross until the mummy is mostly white.
7. Leave a little gap near the top for the eyes.
8. Press two olive slices or two peas into the gap.
9. Bake at 400°F for 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese melts. A grown-up does this
10. Wait for your mummies to cool, then taste them. Show a friend or make more!
    Ask: What spooky face will your next mummy have?
