How to Prepare Everything‑Bagel Mummy Dogs

Alright, let’s get cooking! Preparing these Everything‑Bagel Mummy Dogs is a breeze, and I promise you’ll have a blast in the process. Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll have delicious, spooky snacks ready in no time!

First off, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 375°F—this is super important because you want those mummy dogs to get nice and golden while baking.

Next up, grab a small bowl and mix together 1/2 cup chive & onion cream cheese spread with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Give it a good stir until everything’s blended. This creamy filling adds a burst of flavor that pairs perfectly with the hot dogs!

In another small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, and 1 tablespoon dried minced onions. This mix is what will give the mummies their everything bagel magic! Spread this mixture onto a medium-sized plate, ready for rolling.

Now, let’s get into the dough! Open up a can of Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls and separate the dough into 4 rectangles. Don’t worry if you’re a bit rough; just pinch those perforations to seal them tightly, giving you 6×4-inch rectangles. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each rectangle in half to create 8 (3×4-inch) rectangles.

On each rectangle, spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture, but leave about a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Place one hot dog right on top of the cream cheese, then roll it up carefully. Pinch the edges to seal them tightly—this keeps that filling in where it belongs!

Now, here’s where the fun part comes in: gently roll the top half of each hot dog in your prepared sesame seed mixture, coating it evenly. Then, place these delightful mummy dogs seam-side down on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Finally, bake them for 16 to 18 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and calling your name! These little guys are best served warm with your favorite dips like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.

Tips for Success with Everything‑Bagel Mummy Dogs

Ingredient Substitutions

If you’re looking to mix things up, feel free to swap the hot dogs for turkey or veggie dogs. They still pack that delicious flavor while being a bit lighter. You can also use regular cream cheese if you can’t find the chive & onion spread; just add a dash of salt and some fresh herbs for that extra burst!

Rolling Techniques

When you roll the hot dogs in the dough, make sure to pinch the seams really well. This step is crucial to prevent any gooey filling from leaking out during baking. Don’t rush it—it’s all in the sealing!

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your mummy dogs, serve them alongside a variety of dips. Ketchup and mustard are classics, but ranch dressing or even a zesty aioli can add a gourmet twist that kids will love! Kids love to get involved, so let them help with dipping and turning these mummies into a fun family project!
