Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 24 mini cocktail sausages or Lit’l Smokies
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 24 small dots of yellow mustard
- 24 small dots of ketchup (optional)
- Black sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Open the can of crescent roll dough. Unroll and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 long, thin strips (24 strips total).
- Take one strip of dough and one cocktail sausage. Starting at one end, wrap the dough strip around the sausage at a slight angle, leaving a small gap near the top for the face. Press the end to seal. Repeat with all sausages.
- Place the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet, about an inch apart.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Lightly brush the top of each mummy with the egg wash.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Use a toothpick to dab a tiny dot of yellow mustard on each for eyes. Optionally, add a black sesame seed in the center of the mustard dot.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Keep the dough cold for easier handling. Don’t over-wrap the sausages; use thin strips and wrap loosely. Add the eyes after baking while still warm for better adhesion. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent dough. For a vegetarian version, use vegetarian cocktail sausages.
