🧰 Equipment Needed

To make your spooky little mummies, you’ll need:

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
• Sharp knife or pizza cutter
• Pastry brush (optional)
• Cooling rack
• Small bowl for egg wash (optional)

🛒 Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make about 8 Mummy Mozzarella Sticks:

Breads & Pastries

• 2 (8 oz) tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough

Dairy

• 8 mozzarella string cheese sticks

Decorations

• 16 candy eyes (2 for each mummy)

👩‍🍳 Directions

Step 1: Prepare Your Work Area

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Unwrap the mozzarella sticks and pat them dry (this helps prevent sogginess).

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

1. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 4 rectangles (each made up of two triangles).
2. Gently press the seams together to seal.
3. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut each rectangle into thin strips — about ¼ inch wide.

Step 3: Wrap the Mummies

1. Take one mozzarella stick and wrap 2–3 dough strips around it, crisscrossing to create a “mummy bandage” look.
2. Leave a small gap near the top for the “face.”
3. Place each wrapped stick on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

1. Optional: Brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil for extra crispiness.
2. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown and puffed.
3. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly — they’ll be hot and oozy inside! 🧀

Step 5: Add the Eyes

1. Once cooled slightly (but still warm), gently press two candy eyes into each mummy’s “face” area.
2. Serve immediately for the ultimate gooey, cheesy pull!

These little mummies are best served warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauces.

❓ 10 FAQs

3. Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent dough?
   Absolutely! Puff pastry makes them extra flaky and buttery.
4. Can I use regular cheese instead of string cheese?
   It’s best to stick with string cheese — it holds its shape while melting.

   Yes — use small pieces of black olive or peppercorns instead.
6. What sauce pairs best with these?
   Marinara, ranch, or spicy sriracha ketchup work great.

   Make sure the dough overlaps slightly and fully seals the ends.
