Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs juicy, smoky, or veggie options
  • 1 package puff pastry or bacon strips enough to wrap each hot dog
  • 1 egg beaten egg for egg wash
  • 1 tbsp water to mix with egg
  • optional olives or cheese bits for eyes or decorations
  • to taste seasonings garlic powder or paprika for flavor

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide, or prepare bacon strips if using bacon.
  3. Wrap each hot dog tightly with a strip of puff pastry or bacon, leaving a small space at the top for eyes if desired.
  4. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the beaten egg with water to create an egg wash.
  6. Brush the egg wash generously over each wrapped hot dog, giving them a shiny, golden appearance once baked.
  7. If adding eyes or decorations, place small pieces of olives or cheese onto the top of each hot dog before baking.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly — the pastry should be crisp and flaky, the hot dog heated through.
  10. Serve your spooky mummy hot dogs hot, with additional decorations or seasonings if desired.

Notes

For extra fun, use small veggie slices or cheese to create expressive eyes or faces on your mummies. Adjust baking time if using larger or smaller hot dogs.
