Hot Dog Mummies
Easy finger food to make for a Halloween party. These crispy mummies with puff pastry basically just take 2 ingredients to make. Such a fun cooking project with kids!
Servings: 20 mummies
Ingredients
- 20 hot dogs or sausages , cold
- ½ lb puff pastry , cold
Others
- some melted butter , for brushing
- some cream cheese and sesame seeds , for the eyes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Assemble
- Cut the puff pastry into more or less ¼-inch strips.
- Start at the top and wrap the sausage, leaving a bit of space for the eyes. We use 2 puff pastry strips for each sausage. Place them in a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake
- Brush the puff pastry with some melted butter. Bake them on the middle rack for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before decorating them with some eyes, which is optional.
Hot Dog Mummies Eyes (optional)
- Pipe some cream cheese for the white eyes. Place sesame seeds on top for the black eyes. Or dot some mayonnaise, mustard, or even ketchup. Edible candy eyes work also.
Notes
- Use a pizza wheel cutter to cut the puff pastry, it's easier than a knife in this case.
- Cut the puff pastry on the paper it comes with, and slide everything on a baking tray to make it easier to move them around without touching them too much (puff pastry gets softened easily with heat).
- Chill the puff pastry strips in the fridge or in the freezer for a few minutes whenever they get too soft to handle.
