Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 8 Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks

Dough

  • 2 (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls

Decorations

  • 16 candy eyes

Basting

  • Egg white (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Chill the cheese sticks: Place the mozzarella sticks in the freezer for 2 to 4 hours. Chilling them ensures they stay firm and won’t melt too quickly during baking.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the mummies.
  3. Prepare the dough: Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough and press the seams together firmly to create a solid rectangular sheet.
  4. Cut dough strips: Slice the dough rectangle into thin strips that will be used to wrap the mozzarella sticks.
  5. Wrap the cheese: Take each frozen mozzarella stick and wrap the dough strips around it in a mummy-like fashion, ensuring the cheese is completely covered to prevent leakage while baking.
  6. Prepare for baking: Place the wrapped mozzarella sticks onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each mummy evenly with egg white to help achieve a glossy golden finish.
  7. Chill before baking: Refrigerate the assembled mummies for 30 minutes. This helps the dough set around the cheese for better baking results.
  8. Bake: Bake the mummies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.
  9. Add eyes: Once slightly cooled but still warm, press two candy eyes onto each mummy to complete the spooky look before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute candy eyes with small pieces of olive or peppercorn for a savory option.
  • Make sure mozzarella sticks are well frozen to prevent cheese from oozing out during baking.
  • Use egg white for brushing to get a shiny and crisp crust; you can skip for a vegetarian option.
  • Serve with marinara sauce for dipping to add extra flavor.
  • If you want a spicy kick, sprinkle some garlic powder or Italian seasoning on the dough before baking.
