These easy crispy mummy hot dogs are a fun, flaky, and crunchy snack wrapped in puff pastry with a tangy honey mustard dipping sauce. Perfect for Halloween or any party, they combine simple ingredients for a memorable treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 regular beef or turkey hot dogs
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • 16 black sesame seeds (optional, for mummy eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Slice the pastry into thin strips about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) wide.
  3. Wrap each hot dog with the puff pastry strips, leaving small gaps to mimic mummy bandages and overlapping slightly to secure. Leave a small space near one end for eyes.
  4. Brush the wrapped hot dogs gently with the beaten egg wash to get a golden crust.
  5. Press two black sesame seeds into the exposed area near the ‘head’ of each mummy to create eyes.
  6. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  7. While baking, mix yellow mustard, honey, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust taste as needed.
  8. Remove hot dogs from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack for a couple of minutes to keep crisp.
  9. Serve warm with the honey mustard dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold to maintain flakiness. Don’t wrap too tightly to allow heat circulation. Use egg wash for a golden crust. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. Chill wrapped hot dogs before baking if dough softens. Cooling rack helps keep crispiness. Can freeze wrapped but unbaked hot dogs for later baking.
