Ingredients
  

  • 2 sheets of puff pasty, thawed according to pkg instructions
  • 1 egg
  • black olives, for eyes

Pimento Cheese

  • 1/2 cup Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli Dip & Spread
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz Pepper Jack cheese
  • 3 oz pimentos, chopped
  • 3 oz roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix all pimento cheese ingredients in a medium bowl until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 400º F.
  • Roll out the each puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it's approximately 11"x10" in size. Cut each puff pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles for a total of 12 rectangles.
  • Place 8 of the puff pieces onto a parchment lined sheet. Spread about 1/4 cup of the pimento cheese onto each of the 8 pastry pieces, leaving about 1/2 border.
  • Use a knife of pizza wheel to cut the other 4 pastry pieces into thin strips.
  • Place the pastry strips over top of the pimento cheese to create a mummy appearance, leaving room for eyes.
  • Use a fork to crimp the edges of the strips to the bottom puff pastry.
  • Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the top and edges of the puff pastry.
  • Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Cool slightly then add black olives for eyes. Serve and enjoy.
