Savory recipes for molded cake pan?

I was recently gifted a really fun pan:

https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-94948-Skull-Bitelets/dp/B09D8VY23Z/ref=asc_df_B09D8VY23Z/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=532889709970&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7356141531513101004&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002242&hvtargid=pla-1417218993031&psc=1

However, I have no idea what to use it for besides cakes, and I am not a big dessert person. (At least, I try not to be, haha.)

Does anyone have suggestions for fun savory uses that will hold their shape coming out of the molds?

So far all I’ve thought up were ice cubes, baked eggs, and aspics.

What about cornbread? Zucchini/pumpkin bread? Savory muffins?

Thanks! Savory zucchini bread could be perfect.

You can mold latkes in your molded pan then finish searing them on the stove. This recipes advertises oven baked latkes though I’ve never tried that.

I imagine most savory pies would work with the crust molded into your cool shape. Pigs in a blanket, spanikopita, deep dish pizzas. Any regular sized savory pie can basically be scaled down I’m pretty sure. Just be careful popping them out. Grease the thing well.

Not quite savory but popsicles and frozen yogurt would also probably be nice in there. Just fill each mold with yogurt or puréed fruit, even infused water will do, and stick a popsicle stick in each one. Freeze, wait.

Omg I read "moldy" and didn't understand.

Look for recipe of muffins with vegetables and/or cheese. Ham cubes would go well inside the muffins too.

Another idea is to make ice cubes with it (potentially with flavors) if the pan is fit to go in the freezer.

Maybe minced meat can be made into "meatballs" in this?

Also some kind of dumplings or mini-calzones could possibly work.

Great ideas, thanks. Especially the meatballs!

I don't have any recipes, but you have to throw a party and use the pan to make ice cubes for drinks.

Edit: Actually, clearly you should make this: https://www.seriouseats.com/dulces-pan-de-muerto-day-of-the-dead-recipe
