Ingredients
Scale
- 8 hot dogs (beef, pork, turkey, or vegetarian)
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (about 8 oz)
- 16 small mozzarella balls or mini mozzarella pearls (or shredded cheddar cheese or small cheese cubes)
- Black olive slices or black peppercorns for pupils
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Optional: pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Slice the dough into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.
- Wrap each hot dog loosely with 2-3 layers of dough strips, leaving tiny gaps to mimic mummy bandages.
- Place two small mozzarella balls or cheese cubes near one end of each wrapped hot dog to serve as eyes.
- Press tiny black olive slices or black peppercorns into the center of each cheese eye to create pupils.
- Brush the dough strips lightly with melted butter. Optionally, sprinkle garlic powder or smoked paprika over the dough.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and puffed, and the cheese eyes are melted but not burnt.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not wrap the dough too tightly to allow it to puff and crisp. Use cold dough for easier handling. Brush with melted butter for a golden crust. Cheese eyes should be placed near the ‘head’ end of the hot dog. You can prepare wrapped hot dogs ahead and refrigerate before baking. For gluten-free, use gluten-free dough; for vegetarian, use meatless hot dogs and dairy-free cheese.
