The Finished Dish:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash avocado with a fork in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in red onion, Italian seasoning, salt and cheese. Fill jalapeño halves with the avocado mixture, dividing mixture equally.
- Unroll the crescent rolls. Divide them into 4 rectangles and set one aside. Seal the seam in each of the rectangles. Slice each rectangle lengthwise into 8 strips.
- Wrap each stuffed jalapeno half with 2 strips of dough.
- Place jalapeño halves on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until cheese is melted and jalapeños are lightly roasted.
- Remove from the oven to cool until warm.
- If you want to add eyes to your mummies, use a piping bag to pipe two small circles of sour cream into each pepper then use 2 peppercorns as the pupils.
