Chicken & Cheddar Mummy Braid
- 1 medium sweet red pepper
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0. For mummy eyes, cut two 1-in. circles and two 1/4-in. circles from pepper; chop remaining pepper for filling. Cut garlic crosswise into slices. Reserve 2 center slices for eyes; mince remaining garlic for filling.
- Place chopped pepper and minced garlic in a bowl. Stir in chicken, cheese, peas, mayonnaise and seasonings.
- Unroll both tubes of crescent dough onto a lightly floured 15x12-in. sheet of parchment. Press dough into a 15x12-in. rectangle, pressing perforations to seal. Spoon filling lengthwise down center third of rectangle.
- On each long side, cut 8 strips, about 3-1/2 in. into the center. Fold a strip from each side over filling, twisting each strip once. Repeat with remaining strips, leaving an opening toward an end for mummy's face. Transfer to a 15x10x1-in. pan.
- For eyes, alternately stack pepper and garlic pieces and place in opening. Brush egg white over dough. Bake until golden brown and filling is heated through, 25-28 minutes.
