Mummy Hot Dogs

 

There are a lot of mummy hot dogs in the world, but ours is the best for a couple of big reasons. First, they're stuffed with cheese! We like using strips of American cheese for an ultra creamy and melty bite. But feel free to swap in something sharper like cheddar. (Just make sure the slices are thin and well covered by the crescent dough.) The other reason this recipe wins: Each mummy is brushed with melted butter before baking. Buttery, flaky, and cheesy, you really can't go wrong.

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate crescent dough into 4 rectangles, pinching together seams as necessary. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into thin strips. 
2. Cut each slice of American cheese into 4 strips. 
3. Place a hot dog on top of a piece of cheese, then wrap with crescent dough to look like bandages. (You’ll need about 4 pieces of crescent dough per hot dog.) Repeat with remaining ingredients. 
4. Place on prepared baking sheet and brush with melted butter. 
5. Bake until crescent dough is golden and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. 
6. Using a toothpick, dot mustard onto each hot dog to create eyes.
