Making Jalapeño Popper Mummies is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Jalapeños: Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.
3. Make Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
4. Fill Jalapeños: Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, filling them generously.
5. Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
6. Wrap Mummies: Carefully wrap the dough strips around each filled jalapeño half, leaving a small opening for the “eyes.”
7. Prepare for Baking: Place the wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush it over the dough for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
10. Add Eyes: If desired, you can add small dots of cream cheese or olives for the mummies’ eyes.

By following these steps, you can ensure your Jalapeño Popper Mummies will be a delicious success!
