Print Recipe

These Quick Mummy Hot Dogs are a fun, easy Halloween dinner or party snack made with hot dogs, crescent roll dough, and cheese. Ready in under 20 minutes, they’re a crowd-pleaser that looks impressive with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 standard-sized hot dogs
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 2–3 sticks string cheese
  • Mustard (for eyes and dipping)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash, optional)
  • Everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Open the can of crescent rolls and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
  3. Cut string cheese sticks into thin strips lengthwise (about 4-6 strips per stick).
  4. Place a hot dog on a cutting board. Lay one or two thin strips of cheese alongside the hot dog. Wrap dough strips around the hot dog and cheese, leaving a 1-inch gap near the top for the ‘face.’ Press ends gently to secure.
  5. Transfer wrapped mummies to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.
  6. Optional: Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the mummies with egg wash. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds if desired.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until dough is golden brown and puffed, and cheese is melted.
  8. Let cool for 2-3 minutes. Add two tiny dots of mustard for eyes. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, cut dough strips about 1/2 inch wide. Don’t wrap dough too tightly to allow for expansion. Let mummies cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning mouth on hot cheese. Can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. For air fryer: cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes.
