CHEESE MUMMY: THE BEST HALLOWEEN POTLUCK RECIPE

Steps:

• Use a stand mixer to beat one cup of cream cheese and sour cream until fluffy.
• Add the swiss and cheddar cheeses, onion, roasted pepper, bacon, parsley, and nuts. Beat on medium speed until well mixed.
• Refrigerate the cheese mixture until firm (about 1 hour).
• Shape cheese ball into a body on a pan or cookie sheet.
• Mix the second cup of cream cheese and milk. Spoon into a pastry bag with a flat or basket weave tip and pipe bandages onto the mummy body.
• (OPTIONAL) If you would like to do the "dirty bandages", pull out a tablespoon of cream cheese "frosting" and dye it a light gray. Smear that in a line up your pastry bag before adding in the white cream cheese. Then pipe bandages onto your mummy.
• Use peppercorns and red pepper to make eyes and a mouth.
• Serve with crackers and pretzel sticks for scooping, or bread to spread it on. Baby carrots are great too!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

• Place the cheese mixture in the center of the prosciutto and roughly shape into a mummy form.
• Wrap the prosciutto around the cheese mixture sealing it in completely and reshape the mixture to look like a mummy with a rounded head and the body tapering at the bottom.
• Place a sheet of phyllo on a work surface, brush with melted butter, repeat with 2 more sheets, placing them on top of one another. Do not brush top sheet with butter.
• Lay the prosciutto wrapped cheese in the center of the phyllo and wrap the phyllo around the "mummy".
