Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Olive oil spray (optional)
  • Candy eyes (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1 egg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch diameter meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  5. While meatballs bake, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 1/2-inch thick strips.
  6. Remove the cooked meatballs from the oven. Wrap each meatball with pastry strips to create a mummy effect, leaving a small area for the face.
  7. Brush the wrapped meatballs with the beaten egg wash.
  8. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown.
  9. Let the Cranberry Meatball Mummies cool slightly. Drizzle with cranberry sauce and add candy eyes to the faces.

Notes

  • For an extra tangy flavor, mix fresh cranberries with your cranberry sauce.
  • Do not overcook the meatballs initially to keep them moist.
  • Add herbs like thyme or paprika to the meatball mixture for more flavor.
  • Vegetarian option: Use a mix of black beans and lentils instead of ground beef.
  • For a cheesy surprise, add a small cube of mozzarella to the center of each meatball.
  • Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the meatball mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze unbaked wrapped mummies for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before baking.
