These Mummy Pigs in a Blanket are a fun, kid-approved Halloween dinner made with hot dogs wrapped in biscuit dough, baked until golden, and finished with mustard eyes. They’re quick, budget-friendly, and perfect for picky eaters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 count) hot dogs
  • 1 can (8 biscuits) refrigerated biscuit dough (flaky style recommended)
  • Yellow mustard (for the eyes)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the 8 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a rough oval, about ¼ inch thick.
  3. Slice each flattened biscuit into 4-5 long strips, about ½ inch wide.
  4. Take one hot dog and wrap the dough strips around it, leaving a small gap at one end for the face. Overlap the strips slightly as you wrap.
  5. Place the wrapped mummies on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart, with the face end facing up.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush each mummy lightly with the egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if desired.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the dough is puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Let the mummies cool for about 2 minutes, then use a toothpick to dot two small eyes on the exposed hot dog with yellow mustard.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overwork the dough; handle gently. Leave a gap for the eyes when wrapping. Check baking at 12 minutes to avoid burning. Let cool slightly before adding mustard eyes. Can be prepped up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated before baking. For best results, use flaky-style biscuit dough, not crescent rolls.
