Instructions
This simple recipe allows you to make your Mummy Jalapeño Poppers in just a few easy-to-follow steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Jalapeños: Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat, if desired.
3. Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
4. Fill Jalapeños: Spoon the cheese mixture into the jalapeño halves, filling them generously.
5. Roll Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips. These strips will be used to create the mummy wrapping.
6. Wrap Juicy Jalapeños: Take a filled jalapeño and wrap the strips of dough around it in a crisscross pattern to mimic a mummy. Leave gaps for the “eyes.”
7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Egg Wash: Brush the dough with beaten egg for a golden brown finish.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
10. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
These steps create a batch of Mummy Jalapeño Poppers that are sure to impress with their taste and creative presentation.
