Ingredients
- 8 - 10 jalapeno peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 5 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- Pinch ground black pepper
- 1 crescent roll dough sheet without perforations (8 ounces)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 32 - 40 mini candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
- Cut each pepper in half lengthwise. Use small spoon to remove and discard all seeds and membranes.
- In medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika and black pepper until well combined.
- Fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese mixture.
- Roll crescent roll dough sheet out on work surface. Using a pizza cutter, cut dough crosswise into thin strips.
- Wrap 2 to 3 strips of dough around each jalapeno half, being sure to leave a space near the top for the eyes. Place wrapped jalapenos, cut side up, on prepared baking pan.
- In small bowl, whisk egg and milk until smooth. Use small pastry brush to lightly brush poppers with egg wash.
- Transfer to oven and bake 13 to 15 minutes or until dough is golden brown.
- Allow the poppers to cool for 5 minutes, then place two eyeballs on each popper. Serve warm.
Notes
Home Chef Tips:
- If you cannot find a crescent roll dough sheet without perforations, just make sure to seal the perforations by pressing them together with your fingers before cutting into strips.
- If your jalapenos are on the larger side, use 8 jalapenos. If they are on the medium side, use 10 jalapenos. If you are using mini sweet peppers, you may only be able to fill 6 peppers (12 halves).
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. This ensures that the cream cheese mixture will not have clumps of cream cheese and everything will be evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
