Ingredients
 

  • 1 slice Cheddar cheese
  • 6 sheets croissant dough
  • 8 Frankfurters
  • 16 candy eyes

Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F or 320 °F.
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Cut the cheese into eight pieces.
    1 slice Cheddar cheese
  • Remove the croissant dough from the packaging and make three squares.
    6 sheets croissant dough
  • Cut each square into six strips. Separate them, place two strips after another, and press them down. This gives you a nice long mummy bandage. Repeat for all strips and squares of croissant dough.
  • Grab a Frankfurter and start at the bottom of the Frankfurter with the wrapping with croissant dough. When you reach the top, leave an opening free for the eyes, and wrap any leftover dough further down again.
    8 Frankfurters
  • Press a slice of cheese into the opening. This melts so that you can easily stick the eyes after baking.
  • Bake the croissants in the oven for 12–14 minutes until they are nicely browned.
  • Remove them from the oven and immediately stick two eyes per mummy (otherwise, the cheese will solidify, and the eyes won't stick anymore).
    16 candy eyes
  • Serve immediately or eat cold (also very tasty!)

NOTES

1. Croissant dough:
  • You can substitute it with puff pastry.
  • To prevent unwrapping, tuck the puff pastry ends underneath the sausage.
2. Serve with Dips: like ketchup, BBQ sauce or mustard.
3. Cheesy mummies: Add s strip of cheese inside the sausage before wrapping it in the pastry.
4. Make in advance: You can make the mummies a few hours earlier and store them in the fridge until you're ready to bake. You also could freeze the unbaked mummies and bake them (unfrozen) in the oven. Extend the baking time with 2 minutes.
5. Storage: When baked don't store the spooky sausage mummies.
