Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs any variety you like
  • 1 package shredded puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg wash beaten
  • small googly eyes small edible candy eyes
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning the hot dogs

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife
  • Fork
  • Small Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place each hot dog on a plate and season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Unroll the shredded puff pastry and gently separate it into thin strands or shreds, using your fingers or a fork to create a shaggy, mummy-like texture.
  4. Wrap the hot dogs with the shredded pastry, spiraling and layering the strands to resemble a mummy's wrappings, leaving small gaps for the eyes.
  5. Brush the wrapped hot dogs gently with the beaten egg wash; this will give them a shiny, golden appearance when baked.
  6. Using a small spoon or tweezers, carefully place two edible googly eyes on the front of each mummy, positioning them near the gaps for a spooky effect.
  7. Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for puffing and expansion.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the hot dogs are heated through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the mummies cool slightly on the baking sheet, which helps the pastry set and become crispy.
  10. Serve these fun mummies warm, perfect as a spooky appetizer or party snack during Halloween festivities.

Notes

For extra spooky details, use thin strips of black olives or strips of bell peppers to create scars or bandages around the mummies.
