Meatball Mummies

Directions

1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it gets hot.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until everything is evenly mixed.
3. Divide the mixture into 12 portions and shape each into a meatball of similar size.
4. Take one puff pastry strip and wrap it around a meatball like a bandage, leaving small openings for the eyes. Repeat for all meatballs.
5. Arrange the wrapped meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash over the pastry, then lightly brush with olive oil.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry turns golden brown and the meatballs are fully cooked.
8. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
