Step-by-step recipe directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil or parchment paper, and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray, for easy clean up.
Rinse the peppers and let dry. While wearing gloves, slice them in half lengthwise.
Remove the seeds and membrane. I usually use a spoon or small paring knife to do this.
Chop the green onion finely.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, the shredded cheese, green onion, and the bacon pieces.
Combine the cream cheese mixture. Add and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
Fill the jalapeno pepper halves with the cream cheese filling.
Unroll the crescent rolls. Pinch two triangle pieces together to form a rectangle. Repeat this process using all of the dough.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice each rectangle into 5 thin strips.
Take the crescent dough strips and wrap around each stuffed jalapeno. Leave a small opening for the eyes.
Place the wrapped peppers onto the prepared baking sheet.
Baked the Jalapeno Popper Mummies for about 12 minutes.
As soon as the golden brown mummy poppers come out of the oven, add the eyes to each opening.
