Speaking as a novice cook, here are my comments as a result of making this for an adult Halloween party. 1) Since we don?t like prosciutto, I used as a base for the mummy a thin slab of Italian sausage patty, lightly browned. I had to use a couple of pieces, which I laid on parchment paper on my work surface. 2) For the Essence, instead of making enough to store, I used shakes from the spice bottles to approximate the required ratios. I went light on the cayenne pepper. 3) I didn?t quite understand the described shape of the mummy. The cheese mixture is very moldable so I fashioned legs, a head, and arms that stick out as if he?s getting ready to rise from the coffin. I cut the sausage base to fit the mummy shape. I covered the shape with more sausage but that may not be necessary. 4) Phyllo is very forgiving in this recipe. If the sheets break, don?t sweat it. The final step of "bandages" covers up any mistakes. The arms stayed up after baking! 5) Instead of brushing on soppy butter, try butter-flavored cooking spray. 6) I moved my work-surface parchment paper with the "sculpture" on top to the baking sheet. No worries re falling apart! 7) Because the final result looked like a bandaged mummy, I didn't feel badly about forgetting to put olives for eyes and peppers for hieroglyphics. 8) I made this at 11 am and warmed it later in the oven. My sister warned me not to microwave it.

I love this! However, not a big fan of philo, so I used puff-pastry. Just cut some long strips and decorated it. Very YUMMY!




This was amazing!

When I watched the episode on how to make this Rachael said anything goes, so I eliminated the parsley and added basil and chives. This was delicious and looked amazing!! My husband and I had a great time making this, and would be alot of fun to get the kids in there too.

filo dough is difficult to work with and the first time making them I realized I could make them smaller to feed more people. They went over so well!!
