1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0. 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.

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.
