Cheesy Eyeball Poppers: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for Halloween


  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 15 minute

Ingredients

– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
– 24 pimento-stuffed olives
– 1 egg (for egg wash)


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your own Cheesy Eyeball Poppers:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir until well-blended.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Open the package of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Separate the triangles and press them flat to reform into squares.
4. Fill the Dough: Take a teaspoon of the cheesy mixture and place it in the center of each square of dough.
5. Add the Eyeball: Gently press a pimento-stuffed olive into the center of the cheese mixture to resemble an eyeball.
6. Wrap the Dough: Fold the corners of the dough over the cheese and olive, pinching to seal. Ensure no cheese is exposed.
7. Egg Wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl, then brush the mixture over each popper for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the poppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Once baked, allow the poppers to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

These steps will lead you to a plate full of cheesy eyeball perfection, ready to impress your guests!
