Baked Mummy Jalapeno Poppers Recipe

This fun and tasty appetizer is a perfect combination of spicy, creamy, and savory flavors. Its easy to make and guaranteed to be a hit at any party or gathering.

Ingredients

• 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 6 large fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
• 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
• cup all-purpose flour
• 24 candy eyeballs

Directions

Step 1: Gather all the ingredients and preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese and shredded Cheddar cheese. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir until fully combined.

Step 3: Cut the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously.

Step 4: Roll out the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a pizza cutter or small knife, cut the dough into thin strips.

Step 5: Wrap each stuffed jalapeno with a strip of dough, leaving a small section of the top uncovered where the candy eyeballs will go. Make sure the dough is wrapped securely around each pepper.

Step 6: In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and milk. In another bowl, add flour and season it with salt and pepper.

Step 7: Dip each stuffed jalapeno into the egg mixture, then roll it in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 8: Place the coated jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is lightly browned and crispy.

Step 9: Once baked, remove the jalapenos from the oven and carefully place a candy eyeball on top of each one. The heat from the peppers will melt the cheese, allowing the eyeballs to stick.

Step 10: Serve immediately and enjoy these creepy, cheesy jalapenos at your next event!
