Ingredients

Scale

Mummy Mozzarella Sticks

  • 8 Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks
  • 2 tubes (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 16 candy eyes
  • 1 egg white, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Freeze the Cheese Sticks: Place mozzarella string cheese sticks in the freezer for 2-4 hours to firm up. This helps prevent the cheese from leaking out while baking.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your mummies are prepared.
  3. Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough and press the seams together firmly to form a single large rectangle. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
  4. Wrap the Cheese Sticks: Take a frozen mozzarella stick and carefully wrap the crescent roll strips around it in a criss-cross manner to mimic mummy bandages, leaving small gaps to show the cheese underneath.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped mummies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Use the egg white to brush over the dough; this will give the crust a nice golden glaze.
  6. Chill Before Baking: Chill the wrapped mozzarella sticks in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking to help the dough retain its shape and improve texture.
  7. Bake the Mummies: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Add Candy Eyes: Immediately after baking, press two candy eyes onto each warm mummy to create a creepy and fun character. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Freezing the cheese sticks prevents leakage during baking.
  • Brush egg white or milk over dough for a nicer golden finish.
  • Use parchment paper on baking sheet to avoid sticking and easy cleanup.
  • Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
  • Can be made in advance; just bake before serving.
