Jalapeno Popper Mummies are the perfect spooky Halloween appetizer! This recipe is really easy to make and super impressive at any Halloween party or potluck.
Cut the black olives into small pieces for the eyes. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, jack cheese, scallion and salt until well blended. Set aside.
Slice each jalapeno pepper in half lengthwise, leaving as much of the stem as you can. Wearing gloves, remove the seeds and membranes.
Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture.
Roll out the crescent roll dough, and separate into 4 rectangles (not triangles). Press the perforations together with your fingers to seal them. Using a pizza cutter, cut each rectangle into 10 pieces lengthwise.
Wrap each jalapeño half with two lengths of dough strips, leaving a space for the eyes. Push two pieces of black olives into the cheese for the eyes. Brush the dough with beaten egg, and place on baking sheet.
Bake in 400° F oven for 8-10 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
These can also be baked in an air fryer at 375° F for about 10 minutes. Be sure to check them early.
