It’s mid-September(ish) and we are finally set to have some semi-decent Fall weather this week. I’m going to run with it and make my NEWEST and most favorite recipe ever. These are perfect for Halloween, but also for football season. Who doesn’t love a jalapeño poppers, am I right?! These delightful (and adorable) poppers will have everyone in the spirit for some Fall fun. Be sure to make these Air Fryer Jalapeño Mummies your must-have for all of your Fall parties.
What you’ll need
Besides having some bomb jalapeños, you’re going to need one major component for this recipe. And that is an air fryer. Now, I’ve spoken about my love of Ninja Foodi’s before, but this one works really well also.
Here’s what else you’ll need:
- 1 can of crescent roll
- 6 fresh jalapeños
- 1 – 8 ounce package of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 24 candy eyeballs
That’s it. If you’re looking for more Halloween recipes, check this out!
How to make Air Fryer Jalapeño Mummies
Air Fryer Jalapeño Popper Mummies
Ingredients
- 1 can of crescent roll
- 6 fresh jalapeños
- 1 - 8 ounce package of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 24 candy eyeballs
Instructions
INGREDIENTS -
- Clean and prepare jalapeños by slicing them open, removing the seeds and endocarp (the whitish membrane that seeds are attached to.), and rinsing the insides out. Try to leave the stem intact. Provides a perfect handle.
- Roll out crescent roll dough leaving individual rolls together. Pinch closed the perforations.
- Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll flat to 1/8” thick.
- Cut slices long ways to mimic mummy wrap. Set aside.
- Add cheeses and garlic to a mixing bowl and whip until light and airy.
- Fill the inside of the jalapeños.
- Wrap the jalapeños in the dough to mimic a mummy. You can overlap the dough but the dough will expand so do not over-wrap the jalapeños. You want to see the jalapeños under the wrapping.
- Whisk the egg and brush over the wrapped jalapeños.
- Place in a parchment-lined air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes at 375°f or until the dough is golden brown.
- Once cooked remove and let cool.
- Place two eyes on each jalapeño pushing into the cheese filling.
- Serve with ranch and enjoy.
