Mummy Hot Dogs

Mummy hot dogs are fun, spooky appetizers made by wrapping hot dogs in strips of pastry dough to resemble bandaged mummies. Once baked, the pastry becomes golden and flaky, encasing the sausage with a textured, bandaged appearance, and small edible eyes add a playful touch.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs preferably classic beef or turkey hot dogs
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg beaten, for egg wash
  • 8 small chocolate chips or small olives for eyes
  • 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
  • Optional to taste seasonings e.g., paprika or pepper for extra flavor

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then set aside.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into long strips about 1/2 inch wide—these will be the "bandages".
  3. Wrap each hot dog with strips of pastry, starting from the head and winding down in a crisscross pattern, leaving space for "eyes" at the top. Tuck the ends underneath slightly to secure.
  4. Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  5. Mix the beaten egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush this over the pastry "bandages" to help them turn golden and crispy as they bake.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Place small chocolate chips or olives on the "head" of each mummy to serve as eyes, pressing them gently into the pastry.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature, with the "mummy" bandages crisp and flaky, and the eyes adding a fun, spooky touch.

Notes

For extra spookiness, use black olives for eyes or draw tiny faces with food-safe markers. Feel free to customize the wrapping pattern for more chaotic bandages!
