Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dog Mummies
- 1 (8-oz.) can Crescent dough
- 3 slices American cheese
- 12 hot dogs
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- Dijon mustard (for eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Separate the crescent dough into 4 rectangles, pinching together the seams if needed to make them whole. Then cut each rectangle lengthwise into thin strips for wrapping.
- Cut Cheese Slices: Cut each slice of American cheese into 4 thin strips to place under the hot dogs for added flavor and to help hold the dough wrapping.
- Assemble the Mummies: Place one hot dog on top of a strip of cheese. Using about 4 strips of crescent dough per hot dog, wrap the dough around to imitate mummy bandages. Repeat with all remaining hot dogs, cheese, and dough strips.
- Brush with Butter: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and brush them generously with melted butter to ensure a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Mustard Eyes: Using a toothpick, dot Dijon mustard onto each hot dog to create the mummy’s eyes, giving them a spooky and fun finishing touch.
Notes
- These mummy hot dogs are iconic for Halloween parties and very easy to prepare.
- For a different twist, try using cheese string instead of American cheese.
- You can substitute Dijon mustard eyes with small bits of olives or ketchup dots for a varied look.
- For a crispier texture, ensure the dough strips are thin and evenly spaced when wrapping.
