Ingredients
Scale
- 8–10 standard beef, chicken, or turkey hot dogs
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Yellow mustard (for eyes)
- Shredded mild cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Lightly score the hot dogs lengthwise with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and tear along perforated lines to create strips 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
- Wrap a dough strip around each hot dog in a spiral pattern, leaving the top end exposed for the face.
- Squeeze small dots of yellow mustard onto the exposed ends of the hot dogs to create eyes.
- Place mummies on baking sheets, leaving space between them. Brush with egg wash if using.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffy.
- Cool for a couple of minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Keep the dough cold to prevent tearing. If the mustard runs, chill the mummies for 10 minutes before baking. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free crescent dough. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze unbaked.
