Ingredients
Scale
- Mini pork sausages or cocktail wieners (or standard hot dogs cut into thirds)
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- Mustard seeds (for eyes)
- Melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Unroll crescent dough and press seams together to form a rectangle. If warm, chill for 5 minutes.
- Cut dough into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
- Wrap each strip around a sausage, overlapping slightly to create a bandage look, leaving a gap at the top for eyes.
- Press mustard seeds into the gap at the top of each mummy.
- Brush the wrapped sausages evenly with the egg wash.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Brush with melted butter if desired.
Notes
Keep the dough cold to prevent sticking. If the dough tears, patch it with a small piece. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free crescent dough. Avoid microwaving leftovers as it makes the dough soggy; reheat in the oven instead.
