If you love Pigs in a Blanket, you can’t miss this recipe!

Mummy sausages are a Halloween-inspired variation of the Pigs in a Blanket recipe. In both recipes, sausage is wrapped in dough to make a delicious and enjoyable snack.

Air Fryer Halloween Mummy Sausages

I like to cook sausage mummies in the air fryer, when cooked in an air fryer, these sausage mummies become golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the sausage inside remains juicy and flavorful. The even cooking provided by the air fryer ensures that each bite is a perfect combination of savory sausage and crispy, doughy goodness.

My favorite air fryer is the Dome air fryer because It is big enough to make easy meals for large groups. It’s a quick and convenient method that results in crispy, evenly cooked sausage with less mess to clean up.

Ingredients

The mummy sausages recipe is incredibly simple and requires only two primary ingredients:

Crescent Roll Dough or Puff Pastry: I prefer to use crescent roll dough, as it can help reduce the greasiness of the dough while still providing a delicious and flaky texture.
Well-cooked Sausage: Use cooked sausage, like Johnsonville smoked brats. Since these bratwurst are already cooked, they only need to be heated through during the baking process. Raw brats can be thicker and might not cook thoroughly in the same amount of time, potentially leading to an undercooked center.

To give it a Halloween-themed look, you can also do custom decorations, for me, I’m sticking candy eyes on them. For added deliciousness, I prepared ketchup and mustard sources for added flavor variety.

How to Make Sausage Mummies for This Halloween

Prep the Sausages
Remove the sausage from the packaging, then use the kitchen paper to dry it and set aside.
Roll Out the Dough
Unroll the dough and use a rolling pin to roll it out until it is 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into thin strips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, varying the widths between 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch wide.
Wrap Them Up
Wrap each sausage with dough strips of varying widths, creating a loose mummy-like wrapping. Ensure that the hot dog is still visible after wrapping, as the dough will expand slightly during baking. Leave space for the eyes as well. Prepare a baking sheet to place the wrapped sausages on, and roll them as tightly as possible for better results.
Cook
Set your air fryer to 338℉ (170℃) and cook the mummies for 15 minutes.
Decorate
Remove the cooked sausages to a serving tray. Decorate the sausage mummies. Use ketchup or mustard as an adhesive to attach candy eyes to the mummies. Allow the eyes to dry for a few minutes before serving.
Serve
Serve and Enjoy! Serve the sausage with ketchup, mustard, or any sauce you like.
