Step-by-Step Guide to Making Mummy Pigs

Alright, let’s get these cute little guys ready for their oven debut! Making these Crescent-Wrapped “Mummy Pigs” with Everything Seasoning is really straightforward, and honestly, it’s the best part when the whole family gets involved. First things first, crank up that oven to 375 degrees F (that’s 190 C for all you metric bakers out there!). And grab a baking sheet, lining it with parchment paper makes cleanup a breeze – trust me, you’ll thank me later!

Now, let’s get to the fun wrapping! You’ll take your crescent roll dough and unroll it gently. Separate them into those 8 little triangles, like usual. Here’s the cute part: take each triangle and slice it lengthwise into about three skinny strips. Grab one of your sausages and start wrapping those dough strips around it like tiny mummy bandages. Don’t worry about being perfect! Just crisscross and wrap them around until most of the sausage is covered, but definitely leave a little gap near the top – that’s where the mummy’s face will be!

Preparing the Dough and Sausages

Okay, first things first, get that oven preheating to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Then, unroll those crescent rolls – you know the drill. Separate them into 8 triangles. Now, here’s where the mummy magic happens: take each triangle and cut it lengthwise into 3 strips. Grab two of your sausages and start wrapping those dough strips around them, kind of like you’re wrapping a present, leaving a little space at one end for the face. It’s okay if it looks messy; that’s part of the mummy charm!

Adding the Finishing Touches for Your Mummy Pigs

Once all your little sausages are dressed in their doughy bandages, place them on that prepared baking sheet. Now, grab that beaten egg and give each mummy a gentle brush all over. This egg wash makes the dough turn beautifully golden brown and helps all that yummy seasoning stick. Speaking of seasoning, sprinkle that everything bagel seasoning generously over the dough. It’s going to give these mummy pigs such an amazing flavor!

You’ll pop these into the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them! You’re looking for that gorgeous golden-brown color on the crescent roll dough. Once they’re baked and look perfectly spooky, take them out. The best part? After they cool just a tiny bit, you can add little dots of mustard or tiny candy eyes for the mummy faces! So cute, right?

Pro Tips for Perfect Crescent-Wrapped “Mummy Pigs”

Okay, so you want your Mummy Pigs to be absolutely picture-perfect? I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve! First off, when you’re handling that crescent roll dough, be gentle! If it tears a bit, don’t sweat it, just pinch it back together. When you’re wrapping, try to make the strips overlap just enough – too loose and they might fall off, too tight and the dough won’t puff up nicely. For the seasoning, give it a good, even sprinkle right after the egg wash; it really sticks best then. And for that coveted golden-brown bake? Keep an eye on them, ovens can be so finicky! If the bottoms seem like they might get soggy, you can even give them a little peek from underneath with a thin spatula towards the end of baking to ensure they’re cooked through.

Customizing Your Mummy Pigs Appetizer

Now, these mummy pigs are already ridiculously cute and tasty, but you know me, I love a good twist! Don’t be afraid to play around. Instead of regular cocktail wieners, try using smoked kielbasa cut into smaller log shapes, or even chicken or turkey sausages for a different flavor. If you’re not a huge fan of everything bagel seasoning (gasp!), try a mix of garlic powder and onion powder, or even a sprinkle of paprika for a little color and different kick. And for the faces? Mini pimento-stuffed olives are super spooky, or a tiny dab of cream cheese could be fun too!

Serving and Storing Your Mummy Pigs

These little mummy pigs are best served warm, fresh out of the oven! They’re fantastic on their own, but honestly, they’re even better with a little something extra for dipping. A smoky BBQ sauce or even a tangy ranch dip are absolute winners in my book. They make a perfectly fun addition to any party spread, especially if you’ve got other spooky snacks going on.

Got leftovers? Don’t you worry! Just pop them into an airtight container and stash them in the fridge. When you’re ready for more mummy goodness, just pop ’em in a warm oven for a few minutes until they’re heated through. They’ll still be wonderfully flaky and delicious!
