Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 (8-ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, or as needed (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to get it ready for baking the mummies.
- Cook the hot dogs: Place hot dogs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let the hot dogs simmer until they are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Drain the hot dogs and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Prepare the crescent rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 strips. Wrap each hot dog with one strip of dough, leaving small gaps unwrapped to create the look of mummy bandages. These gaps will also be where you place the eyes.
- Add mustard eyes: Place small dots of yellow mustard on each wrapped hot dog to form eyes, or add nose and mouth details if desired, enhancing the mummy appearance.
- Bake the mummies: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and flaky.
Notes
- You can substitute ketchup or mayonnaise for mustard eyes if preferred.
- Make sure to pat dry the hot dogs well before wrapping to prevent soggy dough.
- For a spicier version, add a little chili powder or smoked paprika to the dough before wrapping.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, mustard, or cheese sauce for extra flavor.
