Why this puff pastry mummy recipe works

This recipe is so simple you can have the kids to help for some quality family time. Using puff pastry sheets ensures the dough is perfect and they puff up into fun little mummies. Slice it into thin strips and wrap in a criss-crossed pattern. The tips of black olive work for eyes, making this decorative snack fully edible. No special skill set needed for these.

What type of cheese to use for halloween mummy appetizers

Mini Babybel cheese wheels are the ideal bite-size choice.  The size works well and they hold shape for wrapping, then melt slightly when baked into soft and gooey morsels. These classic cheese wheels with the pull-off wax were a favorite growing up. It’s 100% real natural cheese and also a good source of protein.

Just a few simple steps needed to make puff pastry mummies

These puff pastry mummies won’t be using the wax, which is a common way to decorate cheese wheels. Instead, wrap them in thin slices of puff pastry sheets to create a wrapped mummy effect. Cutout black olives work perfect for the inset eyes. Bake until golden, and the cheese is slightly gooey inside.

Pro tip: Brush the wrapped cheese wheels with egg white before baking. This helps enhance that classic golden glow of puff pasty.

These Halloween Puff Pastry Mummy Cheese Wheels will be a fun project for the entire family and festive addition to your Halloween appetizer menu. If you’re looking for more Halloween themed appetizers, you’ll love these Black Bean Hummus Monsters.
