Method
 

Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. Slice the garlic bread into 12-14 sticks.

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, olive oil, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Mix well until a smooth paste forms.
Step 3: Assembling the Mummies

  2. Place the garlic bread sticks onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Adding the Details
  1. Slice the black olives in half lengthwise, then slice each half into quarters to create small olive 'eyes'.
  2. Place two olive slices onto each garlic bread stick for the eyes.
  3. Tear the fresh basil leaves into thin strips to create the 'bandages'.
  4. Wrap each garlic bread stick with the basil strips, leaving some of the cheese mixture visible for the mummy's face.
