Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 4 slices slices of cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup or mustard (for decorating)
- 1 as needed cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Open the tube of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice each triangle into thin strips (approximately 1/4 inch wide).
If using cheddar cheese, cut each slice of cheese in half, then fold each piece around a hot dog.
Wrap the thin strips of crescent roll dough around each hot dog, creating a 'mummy' look. Leave a small gap near one end of the hot dog to make space for the mummy's 'face.'
Place the wrapped hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow the mummy dogs to cool for a couple of minutes.
Use a toothpick or the tip of a squeeze bottle to dot eyes onto the exposed part of the hot dogs using ketchup or mustard.
Serve warm with additional ketchup or mustard for dipping, if desired.
