Mummy Hot Dogs
Make mummy dogs healthier by making them from scratch with turkey hot dogs and my Greek yogurt dough, similar to these everything bagel pigs in a blanket. My niece took a cooking class in school and loved preparing pigs in a blanket. However, they used mostly processed ingredients, so her mom and I discussed finding some ways to create them more nutritious. My picky niece gave them a 9 out of 10 (tough critic!). For more kid-friendly appetizers, try these Pepperoni Pizza Bites, Stuffed Bagel Balls, and Pizza Sausage Rolls.
Hot Dog Mummy Ingredients
Flour: Use all-purpose flour or whole wheat for a little more protein and fiber. If you’re gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour, like Bob’s Red Mill. Baking Powder helps the dough rise. Make sure it’s not expired. Salt: Kosher salt has larger crystals, so if you use table salt, use less. Greek Yogurt: You’ll need a thick, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, like Stonyfield or Fage 0%. If there’s any liquid, drain it before using. Egg: Brush the dough with egg white or a whole egg. Hot Dogs: Halve eight turkey hot dogs crosswise. Applegate Naturals is my favorite. Candy Eyes transform pigs in a blanket into mummies. Sauce: Serve with mustard or ketchup if desired.

Variations and tips:
Sticky Dough? Add a little more flour. Dough: Swap Greek yogurt bagel dough with pizza dough. Meat: Substitute turkey or chicken sausage links. Egg Allergy? Skip the egg wash step. Dairy-Free: Sub Greek yogurt with a thick non-dairy one, like Kite Hill’s plain unsweetened yogurt. Double or triple this easy mummy dog recipe to make more if serving at a party.
Can I make mummy dogs in advance?
These mini mummy hot dogs are the perfect appetizer for your next Halloween party since you can prep them in advance.
Make the dough ahead and wrap in plastic, keep refrigerated. Slice the turkey dogs the day before. Before your party, roll out the dough, cut it, and wrap it around the meat. Bake them right before serving so they’re warm for your guests.
How to Store Mummy Dogs
Refrigerate mummy dogs for up to 3 days or freeze them for 3 months. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer, oven, or microwave until warm.
