Cheesy Mummy Wrapped Dogs Recipes

CHEESY MUMMY DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Mix the mustard powder, salt and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
• Dust the counter with 1/4 cup cheese. Unfold 1 sheet of the puff pastry on the cheese. (If the pastry isn't quite thawed, don't force it. Let it sit until thawed.)
• Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons spice mix over the puff pastry, followed by 1/4 cup cheese.
• Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry out to 1/8 inch thick. This presses the cheese into the pastry and also smooths out any seams or wrinkles. Fold the sheet of pastry in half.
• Top with another 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mix and 1/4 cup cheese. Roll out again to 1/8 inch thick.
• Using a knife and cutting straight down (do not saw), cut the pastry into long strips, making half the strips 1/4 inch wide and half about 1/2 inch wide.
• Brush a hot dog piece with mustard and wrap with pastry strips, alternating between long and short strips of pastry for a mummy look. Place on a lined baking sheet. Continue with the hot dog pieces until the pastry strips are finished.
• Refrigerate at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour. This helps firm up the mummies/straws and give them better puff in the oven. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the mummies using the second sheet of puff pastry and the remaining cheese and hot dog pieces.
• Bake until golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes.

CRESCENT MUMMY DOGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F
• Unroll dough; separate at perforations creating 4 rectangles; press perforations to seal. With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough.
• Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).
• Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like "bandages," stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate "bandages" so hot dog shows through for "face."
• On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
• Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on "face.".
