Ingredients
- 12 fresh jalapeño peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 package of crescent roll dough
- Black olives, sliced (for eyes)
- Parchment paper (for baking)
- Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes carefully. For extra heat, leave some seeds in if desired.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until everything is well blended.
- Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, ensuring it’s generously packed.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips. Wrap these strips around the filled jalapeños to resemble mummy wrappings.
- Place the wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet. Use small pieces of black olive to create eyes for the mummies on top of the cheese filling.
- Spray the poppers lightly with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to achieve a golden brown finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
