Main Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz.) can Crescent dough
- 3 slices American cheese
- 12 hot dogs
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- Dijon mustard (for decorating)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Dough Strips: Separate the crescent dough into 4 rectangles, pinching the seams together where necessary to make solid rectangles. Then cut each rectangle lengthwise into thin strips to be used as bandages.
- Cut Cheese into Strips: Cut each slice of American cheese into 4 strips, so you have enough strips to place a piece on each hot dog before wrapping.
- Assemble the Mummies: Place one hot dog on top of a cheese strip, then wrap it with about 4 pieces of crescent dough strips, overlapping slightly to create a mummy bandage effect. Repeat this process with the remaining hot dogs, cheese, and dough.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each mummy with melted butter to promote browning and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Eyes: After baking, use a toothpick to dot Dijon mustard on each hot dog to make the eyes of the mummy for that spooky finishing touch.
Notes
- These mummy hot dogs make an iconic Halloween treat that’s simple, quick, and a hit for parties and family gatherings.
- Using Dijon mustard for the eyes adds a nice tangy flavor and striking detail to the presentation.
- Make sure the dough strips are thin enough to mimic bandages but strong enough to hold during baking.
- Can be served with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce alongside for extra flavor.
