Ingredients:
- 8 large jalapeño peppers
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 slices of bacon, cut in half
- Edible googly eyes or black sesame seeds for mummy eyes
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Slice each jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise, and carefully remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon. Be cautious and wear gloves if necessary, as jalapeños can be spicy.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, using a spoon or piping bag for easier handling. Make sure to fill them generously, creating a flavorful and creamy center.
5. Take a half-slice of bacon and wrap it around each jalapeño popper, covering the cheese-filled pepper in a crisscross pattern to resemble mummy bandages. Leave a small gap near the top of each pepper to create space for the mummy eyes.
6. Place the wrapped jalapeño poppers on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the bacon turns crispy and golden.
7. Once baked, remove the jalapeño poppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Place edible googly eyes or black sesame seeds on each mummy popper, pressing them gently into the gap left for the eyes.
8. Arrange the Mummy Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers on a platter, presenting them as an ancient relic from the mummy's tomb. Serve them alongside your favorite dipping sauce for an extra kick, such as ranch dressing or spicy mayo.
