Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 package (12 oz) mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
- Yellow mustard or ketchup (for the eyes)
- Optional: everything bagel seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, or paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it along the perforated lines into 8 triangles.
- Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3-4 thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
- Wrap each mini hot dog with a dough strip, leaving small gaps between wraps to create the mummy effect. Press ends gently to seal.
- Place the wrapped mummies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Dip the tip of a toothpick into mustard or ketchup and dot two small eyes onto each mummy.
Notes
Keep the dough cold for easier handling. Don’t over-wrap the hot dogs; visible gaps create the mummy effect. Use a light hand with mustard eyes to prevent running. Bake on the middle rack for even browning. Can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated. Freeze unbaked mummies for up to 2 months.
