Party Panache, Yummy Mummy Asparagus & Bacon Braid
With Halloween on the horizon,
I had some fun with this Yummy Mummy Stuffed Braid
But keep in mind, this is not just for Halloween!
Dress it with greens to suit any occasion…
add edible flowers for a spring party or shower,
rosemary or holly sprigs for the holidays,
berries for the summer…
It’s not only easy breezy to make
It’s fun to assemble!
Start with blanched fresh asparagus, crispy bacon, and crescent roll dough
Place dough on a large piece of parchment paper
Combine cream cheese and mayonnaise and spread down the center
Pile on asparagus spears
Bacon
Cut the dough edges into 1 inch intervals
Add cheese
More cheese
Now begin the braid by laying one dough strip over the filling at an angle
then crossing it with a dough strip from the opposite side
Tuck in filling as necessary as you go
Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with Parmesan
Bake at 375 for 14-20 minutes, checking often
Time will vary on your oven and thickness of dough braid
When braid is cooked through and golden, carefully transfer to serving board
Garnish
{use candy eyes from the cake decorating section to make it look like a mummy}
Slice and serve!
Creamy, cheesy, bacony good!

Thanks, Jenna! 😊💚
Fun and easy to make!
I am glad to learn from you that Pilsbury makes cresent sheets. I don’t take the time to look carefully. Your recipe sounds delicious.
They are hard to find sometimes, but makes using the dough so much easier 🙂
That’s so cute!! I would have a hard time cutting and eating this! 🙂
thanks Michelle, it makes a pretty presentation, mummy or no mummy 🙂
How impressive! I will have to give this a try! I love all the ingredients and it sure looks yummy! Pinning! 😋
Thank you Cyndi, it is easy and fun to make and definitely yummy to eat!
Love how EASY this is!! And those eyes!! Lol! 🎃👍
Yes, so easy!!
Sounds great, I’ll have to look for the crescent sheets:@)
I can’t always find them, but they sure make it easy to use in recipes like this 🙂
This looks amazing! So pretty and also when you slice it! Yum!
Thank you Nancy, I can’t wait to serve this at a party 🙂
Looks super tasty! I did something similar with the wrap in my pampered chef days and it was always so pretty and not nearly so hard as it look like it could be. Love the asparagus with the bacon.
thanks Jeanie, asparagus and bacon is always a good combo!
This looks delicious! I love asparagus but in our house we are half and half. Half of us like it and half of us don’t. The two that don’t like it will eat it because it is good for them but I always try to find creative ways that they will enjoy so they are not eating things they don’t like. I think they would like it this way and I know I will 🙂
thanks, I hope you can turn them into asparagus lovers 🙂
What spooky fun! Love your savory bread braid Jenna!
very yummy!
