Ground Beef: Use lean ground beef for juicy meatballs without excess grease; turkey is a great alternative too.
Breadcrumbs: Choose plain breadcrumbs to help bind the meat mixture together while adding texture.
Eggs: One large egg helps bind all ingredients; it’s the glue that holds your mummies together.
Spices: A mix of garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning adds depth and flavor to the meatballs.
Puff Pastry: Store-bought puff pastry makes wrapping these mummies a breeze; keep it cold until ready to use.
Olive Oil: A drizzle of olive oil enhances browning and flavor during baking; it’s a simple yet effective ingredient.
Olives or Peppercorns: Use these for eyes — they add character and make your mummies come alive!

Meatball Mummies Recipe

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, and spices. Mix gently until just combined; over-mixing can lead to tough meatballs.

Shape the Meatballs: Roll the mixture into small balls, about an inch in diameter. Keep them uniform for even cooking; think of them as mini monsters waiting for their wraps.

Roll Out Puff Pastry: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the chilled puff pastry sheet. Cut into strips approximately ½ inch wide — like bandages for your mummies.

Wrap Your Meatballs: Take a meatball and wrap it with strips of puff pastry. Leave gaps for eyes to peek through; they should look adorably creepy.

Bake Them Up: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place wrapped meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush lightly with olive oil for that golden finish.

Add Eyes Before Baking: Place olive pieces or peppercorns on top of each mummy before baking so they can watch over their fellow creatures while cooking. Mummy Pigs In A Blanket.

Now all you need is some eerie music playing in the background while those mummies bake! The anticipation will build as you inhale that incredible aroma wafting through your kitchen.
