INGREDIENT NOTES:
JALAPENO POPPERS:
- They give a classic spicy popper taste to the recipe. We cut them in half lengthwise to make the boat shape so the poppers hold the filling better. You may utilize mini sweet peppers as per your preference.
VEGAN CREAM CHEESE:
- We use this cream cheese to get smooth base of the filling. Cream cheese holds the vegan cheese and seasonings together. You may use vegan whipped cream cheese as an alternative.
VEGAN MONTEREY JACK-STYLE CHEESE:
- This cheese gives a melty and cheesy texture to the filling. This cheese works well with the jalapeños because of the mild taste. You may utilize vegan mozzarella as a substitute.
VEGAN CRESCENT ROLL DOUGH:
- We use this dough to make the mummy bandages of the stuffed jalapeños. It gets crispy and golden when we bake. Include vegan puff pastry if crescent roll dough is not available.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, include baking paper on the tray and spray it lightly, then set the oven to 400°F.
- Slice the jalapeños into half, then scrap their seeds and white ribs properly.
- Mix vegan cream cheese, garlic powder, vegan Monterey Jack-style cheese, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in the bowl.
- Include the cheese mixture equally in the halves, then unroll the vegan dough.
- Make rectangles of the dough and cut it into thin strips, then wrap the jalapeño with 2 strips.
- Put the wrapped jalapeños on the tray and brush the dough with vegan milk.
- Bake this snack for 15 minutes, then take it out of the oven and add two eyes to each mummy.
- Lastly, cool the jalapeño popper mummies for a few minutes and serve warm.
