Hot Dog Sausage Mummies are essentially sausages wrapped in puff pastry to look like mummies. The idea is simple, but the result is impressive! Imagine a bunch of sausages, all wrapped up and peeking out like little mummies with their “eyes” staring right at you.
These cute (and slightly creepy) snacks are sure to grab everyone’s attention.
One of the best
things about Hot Dog Sausage Mummies is how easy they are to prepare. You only need a few ingredients: hot dog sausages, puff pastry, an egg for brushing, and something for the eyes—like peppercorns and little dots of mayo or ketchup.
You can even get creative with different sausages or pastry styles. The process of wrapping the sausages in thin strips of pastry gives them that mummy-like look, and when baked, the puff pastry turns golden and crispy, making these little mummies both delicious and fun.
These mummies aren’t just for kids either. Adults love them too, especially when served with dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or even spicy dips for an extra kick.
They’re great as appetizers or party snacks, perfect for Halloween gatherings, potlucks, or even a spooky movie night at home. Plus, they’re portable and mess-free, making them the perfect grab-and-go snack.
In short,
Hot Dog Sausage Mummies are a creative and tasty way to celebrate Halloween. They’re sure to bring smiles (and maybe a few gasps!) to your next Halloween party.
So, why not give them a try? Your guests will love them, and they’re bound to become a new holiday tradition!
Ingredients
Instructions
Before wrapping, carefully push a wooden skewer or stick through each hot dog sausage, ensuring the stick goes at least halfway through to support the sausage during baking.
Prep the puff pastry
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Roll out the puff pastry to about 0.5 cm (0.2 inch) thickness if it’s not pre-rolled.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the puff pastry into thin strips about 1 cm (0.4 inch) wide.
Wrap each sausage (now on a stick) with the puff pastry strips, leaving small gaps around one end to expose a bit of the sausage for the mummy’s “face.”
Wrap unevenly for a spooky effect.
Put on each sausages where the gap is 2 dot of ketchup, or mayo, or mustard, and then press black peppercorns into the each dot.
This will be the eye. Check the photo for sample.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk and brush it over the pastry to give a golden color when baked.
Place the mummies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
How to serve
Stick the sausage mummies upright for a fun presentation!
You can stab the sticks into a carved pumpkin, a styrofoam block covered with creepy cloth, or even a loaf of bread or a head of cabbage.
You can decorate the base with fake spider webs, small Halloween-themed props, or edible “grass” made from spinach or kale to create a Halloween scene.
Enjoy, Good Appetite!
Happy Halloween!
