Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into thin strips about 1 cm wide.

Wrap each sausage in the strips of dough, leaving a small opening at the end for the eyes.

Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for about or until the pastry is golden.

While baking, you can add the edible eyes to give the look of spooky mummies.

Once baked, remove the mummies from the oven and use ketchup to make eyes on each mummy if you haven't already added them.

Serve hot with ketchup or your favorite sauce.

Chef's tip

🎃👁️ Add dried herbs such as oregano or thyme to the dough for more flavor. For an even scarier effect, use a small piece of puff pastry to create extra "bandages" around the mummies before baking. And if you like crispiness, brush the dough with beaten egg before baking! 🧄👻

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Once cooked, up to 1 month, in freezer bags. The texture of the pastry will be less crispy after thawing and reheating.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 2 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. The pastry may soften slightly.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Puff pastry loses its crispy texture if prepared the day before, raw or cooked.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Ideally 8-10 min in the oven at 160°C or air fryer at 150°C to get the crispiness back. Microwave not recommended (softens the pastry).

Variations

Use cocktail sausages for bite-size mummies at happy hour.
Slip a thin slice of cheese between the sausage and the dough.
Serve with mustard instead of ketchup.

Mistakes to avoid

Cutting the strips of dough too wide: the mummies lose their effect. Aim for about 1 cm wide.
Covering the entire end of the sausage: there is no room left for the eyes. Leave a small opening.
Baking in a lukewarm oven: the dough stays pale. Preheat to 180 °C.

Frequently asked questions

Which sausages should you choose for mummies?

Hot dog-style sausages or cocktail sausages, already cooked or precooked, work very well. They heat up quickly in the oven while the puff pastry browns. Choose sausages of an even size.

Where can you find edible candy eyes?

In the baking aisle of supermarkets, in craft stores, or online. Otherwise, draw the eyes with a dot of ketchup on each mummy after baking, as the recipe suggests.

What sauce should you serve with the mummies?

Ketchup is the classic and also lets you draw eyes. Mustard, mild or whole-grain, brightens the sausage nicely. A cheese sauce or a little spicy mayonnaise also works for dipping.

Can you prepare the mummies ahead of time?

Yes, wrap the sausages in dough and keep them in the refrigerator on the baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap, until you are ready to bake. Bake them about 15 minutes at 180 °C, until the dough is deep golden.
