Ingredients
For the Dough:
-
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
2 tablespoons cream cheese
-
¾ cup almond flour
-
1 large egg
-
Pinch of salt
-
½ teaspoon baking powder (optional)
For the Mummies:
-
6 to 8 all-beef hot dogs (no added sugar or fillers)
-
Black olives, mustard, or sour cream (for eyes – optional)
-
Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese together in 30-second bursts until smooth. Stir well.
-
Add almond flour, salt, egg, and baking powder. Mix until a dough forms. It will be sticky—wet your hands to help shape it.
-
Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out to about ¼ inch thick.
-
Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice long, thin strips of dough.
-
Take one hot dog and wrap it loosely with the dough strips, mummy-style. Leave a gap near the top for eyes.
-
Repeat for each hot dog, then place them on your baking sheet.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Let cool slightly, then add eyes using mustard, olive slices, or sour cream dots. Serve warm.
Notes
-
Dough too sticky? Chill for 10 minutes or wet your hands.
-
You can prep and wrap the mummies ahead of time, store in fridge, and bake later.
-
Freezer-friendly after baking—reheat in oven for 10 minutes at 350°F.
-
Use sunflower seed flour instead of almond flour for a nut-free option.
-
Make mini mummies by cutting hot dogs into smaller pieces.
