Jalapeno popper mummies
Pepper popper practice
Step 1
Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it sit until close to room temperature
Step 2
Cut the jalapeno in half and try to leave the stem on top (this way it’s cuter and easier to eat). Be sure to wear gloves, as jalapenos can really be spicy, especially if your hands hurt.
Step 3
Scrape off all the seeds inside the pepper with a spoon.
Step 4
Mix together the cream cheese, pepper cheese, and a pinch of garlic and salt, then set aside.
Step 5
Open the crescent roll and use your fingers to smooth out the creases on the dough to form 4 rectangles.
Step 6
Cut about 10 long strips on each rectangle with a pizza cutter.
Step 7
Use a small spatula or spoon to fill half of the cheese mixture with jalapeños.
Step 8
Wrap the cheese-filled jalapenos in your crescent-shaped dough strips, leaving a small gap of about a quarter under the eyes. End up using 2-3 strips of dough for each dough, depending on their size.
Step 9
Whisk the eggs well, place your wrapped jalapenos on a baking sheet and rub well with the egg wash.
Step 10
Put it in the oven at 205°C and bake for about 10 minutes. The dough should be golden brown after baking, and after a few minutes of cooling, place the 2 eye candies where the gaps are left on each dough.
