Mummy Hot Dogs

Mummy Hot Dogs are a fun, spooky snack made by wrapping hot dogs in overlapping strips of puff pastry to resemble mummies. The dish is baked until golden and crispy, with small edible eyes added for a playful, ghoulish appearance. The final result is a flaky, savory appetizer with a slightly tangled, everyone-will-love look.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces hot dogs beef, turkey, or chicken hot dogs work
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg wash beaten
  • 8 small mini eyes placed on the pastry for spooky eyes
  • optional paprika for sprinkling on edges for color and aroma

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, cutting each sheet into strips about 1/2 inch wide. This helps create the mummy’s bandages.
  3. Wrap each hot dog with overlapping strips of puff pastry, leaving one end uncovered for the face. Gently press the pastry edges to seal slightly, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Brush the wrapped hot dogs lightly with the beaten egg wash, which will give the pastry a golden, shiny finish.
  5. If desired, sprinkle a little paprika along the edges of the pastry for extra color and a smoky aroma. Place mini eyedrops (mini eyes) near the face area of each mummy for spooky eyes.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, golden, and crispy. Keep an eye on the edges to prevent over-browning.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly—your spooky little mummies will be ready to serve once crispy and warm, with adorable eyes staring back at you.

Notes

Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier. For extra fun, add additional edible decorations or spicy seasoning before baking.
