Print Recipe

These easy mummy hot dogs in puff pastry are a quick, fun, and delicious Halloween treat that kids and adults love. With just four ingredients and 20 minutes, you can create spooky, flaky mummies that are perfect for parties or a simple weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 8 standard-size hot dogs
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • Yellow or Dijon mustard (for eyes)
  • Optional: Everything bagel seasoning (for extra crunch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thaw the puff pastry according to package directions until cold but pliable.
  3. Lightly flour your work surface. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and gently roll it out to a 10×12-inch rectangle.
  4. Cut the pastry into 8 strips, each about 1 inch wide, using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
  5. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to help the pastry stick.
  6. Wrap each hot dog with a pastry strip, starting at one end and winding diagonally, leaving small gaps (about 1/4 inch) between wraps. Press the ends gently to seal.
  7. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down, leaving about an inch between each.
  8. Brush each mummy with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water) using a light hand.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  10. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Add mustard eyes by dipping a toothpick in mustard and dotting two small eyes on each mummy.
  12. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Keep the pastry cold for best results. Don’t over-wrap; leave gaps for the hot dog to brown. Add mustard eyes after baking. For variations, try spicy sausages, cheese-stuffed hot dogs, or gluten-free puff pastry. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or in an air fryer at 350°F for 3 minutes. Freeze unbaked mummies for up to 3 months.
