Description

These spooky Jalapeno Popper Mummies are a Halloween favorite, combining spicy jalapenos with a creamy, cheesy filling and wrapped in golden crescent dough. Perfect as an appetizer for your Halloween party!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large jalapenos, halved and seeds removed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Candy googly eyes (or small pieces of black olives)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking tray with foil and lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Prepare the Jalapenos:

    • Slice the jalapenos lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. For a spicier bite, you can leave some of the ribs intact.
  • Make the Filling:

    • In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Stuff the Jalapenos:

    • Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, packing it in generously.
  • Prepare the Dough:

    • Unroll the crescent rolls and press the perforations together to create 4 rectangles. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 strips.
  • Wrap the Jalapenos:

    • Wrap each stuffed jalapeno with 2 strips of crescent dough, leaving gaps for the eyes to create a “mummy” look. Ensure the dough covers the cheese filling well but maintains an uneven, bandaged appearance.
  • Brush with Egg Wash:

    • Lightly brush the crescent dough with the beaten egg wash to achieve a golden, crispy texture.
  • Bake:

    • Arrange the wrapped jalapenos on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Add the Eyes:

    • After removing from the oven, press candy googly eyes (or small pieces of black olives) into the dough where the mummy’s eyes should be.
  • Serve:

    • Let the mummies cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • For a milder version, ensure you remove all the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos.
  • You can use pre-made cheese blends or your favorite cheeses for variation.
