Mini Pepper Mummies

SERVES: 24 mummies

INGREDIENTS
  • 12 mini peppers

  • 1/3 cup frozen cauliflower rice

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper

  • 1 package of crescent dough

  • 48 candy eyes

DIRECTIONS
1
Preheat oven to 350 F.
2
Cut peppers in half with the stem on and discard the seeds.
3
Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 3~5 minutes until cauliflower is soft.
4
For the filling:, lightly beat eggs in a bowl. Mix in cooked cauliflower rice, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
5
Stuff sweet peppers with the filling.
6
Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into thin strips. Wrap the strips around stuffed peppers. Make sure to leave a gap where the eyes would go, and add some overlapping strips to create a mummy look.
7
Place the peppers an inch apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15~17 minutes until the dough is golden brown.
8
Remove mummies from the oven and carefully add the candy eyes while the filling is still hot.
