Ingredients

12 whole fresh mushrooms (baby bellas)
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. minced garlic
4 oz. cream cheese cubed
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne powder omit if you want zero spice
1/4 tsp. salt
8 oz. crescent rolls Pillsbury Tube
7 mm. candy eyes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with foil. Grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Break off stems of mushrooms and save.
Add butter and garlic to a skillet.
Dice mushroom stems and add to skillet. Cook over medium heat until mushrooms begin to soften.
Add cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and spices and reduce heat to low. Continue to cook and mix until cheese is melted.
Use a spoon to fill the mushrooms. Press filling into the center, making sure not to overfill. Place top side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Cut crescent rolls into 1/8" strips with a pizza cutter. Wrap the strips around the mushroom leaving a little space for the eyes. Overlap and create a mummy look.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the crescent strips begin to turn golden brown. Remove from oven. Top with eyes and serve warm.

Notes

Can Halloween Mushrooms be premade?

Mummy mushrooms taste best straight out of the oven, as the crescent rolls don’t do well being stored in the fridge after they’ve been cooked. The stuffing can be made ahead of time (stored in the fridge in an airtight container), and the crescent roll dough can be cut into strips and kept refrigerated. Assemble and bake just before serving.

Can you freeze Mummy Mushrooms?

You can stuff mushrooms and freeze them, then thaw and add the crescent roll dough before baking.

Can Mushrooms be made Keto-friendly?

If you want a Keto-friendly recipe, skip the crescent roll dough and instead use mozzarella string cheese to wrap up your mushrooms. Decrease bake time to 10 minutes.
