Baked Mummy Jalapeno Poppers Food

BAKED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
• In a bowl, cream together the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cumin, and cayenne.
• In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and 2 teaspoons of the Essence. In a shallow dish, combine the panko crumbs and remaining 4 teaspoons of Essence. In a third dish, combine the flour and remaining 2 teaspoons of Essence. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture into the middle of each jalapeno half. One at a time, dredge in the flour, dip into the egg mixture, then dredge in the panko crumbs, pressing to coat. If necessary, repeat the process. Place the coated peppers, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the filling is runny and the crust is golden, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and serve immediately with cold beer.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

SIMPLE JALAPENO MUMMY POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Half the jalapeños lengthwise with a small sharp knife and remove the ribs and seeds.
• Combine the cream cheese, cheddar jack, bacon, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl.
• Fill the center of a jalapeño with the cream cheese mixture (1-2 tbsp of mix per jalapeño half, depending on the size of the pepper). Repeat with the remaining peppers.
• Unroll the crescent dough and pinch the seams together so you have one large sheet of dough. Cut it into 20 equal size strips.
• Wrap one strip of crescent dough around each jalapeño, leaving enough space to insert the eyes once they're baked.
• Place the poppers on the center rack in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the poppers are golden brown.
• Insert two candy eyes into the poppers- make sure to do this when they're still hot or they won't stick.
