# Components:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
02 - 6 slices cheddar cheese
03 - 6 slices mozzarella cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Garnish & Accents

05 - 12 sliced black olives (for "eyes")

→ Optional Additions

06 - 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
07 - Ketchup or marinara sauce, for dipping

# Method:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 - Cut the thawed puff pastry sheet into 6 even rectangles, each measuring approximately 4x6 inches.
03 - Place one slice each of cheddar and mozzarella cheese centrally onto each pastry rectangle.
04 - Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, carefully slice the sides of each pastry rectangle into ½-inch wide strips. The center cheese area should remain uncut.
05 - Gently fold the pastry strips over the cheese, alternating sides to mimic mummy bandages. Leave a small gap to create the "face" area.
06 - Brush the pastry evenly with the melted butter or the beaten egg wash to achieve a beautiful golden-brown finish upon baking.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is impressively puffed and gorgeously golden brown.
08 - Remove the mummy wraps from the oven. Immediately press two olive slices into the exposed cheese area of each wrap to form the characteristic "eyes."
09 - Allow the mummy wraps to cool slightly before serving. Offer ketchup or marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
