🕒 Prep Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Cook Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
- 10–12 cocktail sausages (or hot dogs cut in half)
- 2–3 slices of cheddar cheese (optional, for extra gooey filling)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water
- Candy eyes (or dots of mustard/ketchup as eyes)
- Ketchup and mustard, for dipping
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the bandages
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into thin strips about ¼ inch wide. These strips will act as the mummy bandages.
Step 2: Wrap the sausages
Take each sausage (or half hot dog) and wrap it with 2–3 strips of dough, leaving small gaps to give that “mummy” look. Be sure to leave a little opening near the top for the eyes to peek through!
Pro tip: If you’re using cheddar cheese, wrap a thin slice around the sausage first before adding the dough strips. This gives a gooey surprise when you bite into your mummy.
Step 3: Brush with egg wash
Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Gently brush the wrapped mummies with this egg wash to help them bake into a golden, shiny finish.
Step 4: Bake to perfection
Place the wrapped sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 13–15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
Step 5: Add the spooky eyes
Once baked, let the mummies cool for 5 minutes. Then, carefully press candy eyes into the exposed sausage area. If you don’t have candy eyes, use a toothpick to dot on mustard or ketchup for eyes. Instant creepiness!
Step 6: Serve & enjoy
Serve warm with little bowls of ketchup and mustard for dipping. Watch your guests laugh and munch as these creepy little mummies disappear!
Pro Tips for Perfect Sausage Mummies:
