Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 Bagel Crisps
- 1 small can Tomato Sauce
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese (grated or string cheese)
- 1 can large Ripe Olives, whole, pitted
Herbs and Spices:
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon Sweet Basil
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C) to create an ideal baking environment.
- Prepare the tomato sauce by combining it with garlic powder, oregano, and sweet basil, heating until flavors meld and the mixture becomes slightly bubbly.
- Shred mozzarella cheese into delicate, thin strands to create the perfect web-like texture.
- Lay out bagel crisps on a baking sheet, then generously spread the prepared sauce across each crisp surface.
- Carefully construct a spider web design using the shredded cheese, draping strands in an intricate pattern to mimic a delicate web.
- Transform black olives into spider elements by slicing them strategically: lengthwise for spider bodies, and additional cuts to create distinctive legs and eyes.
- Position the olive spider pieces artfully on top of the cheese-covered sauce base.
- Transfer the prepared snacks to the preheated oven, allowing them to bake until the cheese transforms into a golden, slightly crispy state.
- Remove from the oven and let the pizza snacks rest briefly to cool and set their textures before serving.
Notes
- Customize sauce intensity by adjusting herbs and spices to match personal taste preferences.
- Use low-fat cheese or plant-based alternatives for healthier dietary modifications.
- Choose gluten-free bagel crisps to make the snack suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities.
- Get creative with olive placement to create different spider designs and make the appetizer more visually engaging for kids and Halloween parties.
