Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 5 jalapeno peppers (with stems)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 4 ounces grated pepper jack cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ Kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 20 candy googly eyes
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 egg (beaten)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
  • Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the seeds and ribs. Try to leave the stems on if you can. Discard the seeds and ribs. 
  • In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, garlic and onion powder, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Fill the jalapeño peppers with the cheese mixture. Don't overfill, or the cheese will ooze out while baking.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough; keep the triangles together, and pinch the perforations together. Cut thin strips (about a quarter to a half inch wide) of dough and wrap one or two pieces around each pepper half. Leave a space at the top to insert the googly eyes. 
  • Make an egg wash by combining the egg and about one tablespoon of water and whisk to combine. Place the mummies on a baking sheet, and brush a thin layer of egg wash on each one.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until the mummies are golden brown. Remove from the oven and place the candy googly eyes in the melted cheese.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
