Ingredients

For the filling

  • 12 mini sweet peppers
  • 1/3 cup cauliflower rice, frozen
  • 2 large Nellie's Free Range Eggs
  • 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the mummies

  • 1 batch refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 48 candy eyes

Directions

To make the filling:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Cut sweet peppers in half, leaving the stem on. Discard the seeds and set peppers aside.
  • Add cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and heat in the microwave for 3-5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, crack eggs into a medium bowl and beat lightly until combined.
  • Add cooked cauliflower rice, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and stir until fully combined.

To make the stuffed pepper mummies:

  • Using a spoon or small spatula, fill each sweet pepper half with the cauliflower rice filling.
  • Unroll crescent dough onto a prepared surface and slice into thin strips.
  • Wrap strips of dough around the stuffed peppers, making sure to leave a gap where the eyes would go. Be sure to add some overlapping strips to create a spooky mummy look!
  • Place wrapped peppers about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Transfer peppers to the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown.
  • Remove mummies from the oven and carefully add the candy eyes while the filling is still hot. Let cool before serving with your favorite dips or snacks!
