Chicken & Cheddar Mummy Braid

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375°. 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.
2. 2
   Place chopped pepper and minced garlic in a bowl. Stir in chicken, cheese, peas, mayonnaise and seasonings.
3. 3
   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.
4. 4
   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.
5. 5
   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.
