Why This Recipe Works
- Four ingredients are all you need to make these ghoulish snacks.
- Store-bought dough saves time and adds ease to preparation.
- These can be prepped one day in advance and baked when ready to serve.
- These mummies are as fun to make as they are to eat. And the kids will be eager to help!
Ingredient Notes
- Fully cooked brats, like Johnsonville smoked brats, work best here. Raw brats may not cook completely through in the short baking time.
- Cheddar, Colby, and Pepper Jack all work well. I like using individually wrapped cheese sticks, which are the perfect size for stuffing the brats.
- Crescent roll dough is a readily available supermarket shortcut perfect for preparing quick-cooking snacks like these. For ease, use crescent dough sheets.

How to Make Mummy Sausages
Step 1: Cut a slit lengthwise in the brats, being careful not to cut all the way through. Press a cheese stick into each brat.
Step 2: Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into twelve even strips.
Step 3: Wrap a strip of dough diagonally around each brat.
Step 4: Wrap a second strip of dough around each brat in the alternating direction.
Step 5: Place the brats on a parchment-lined sheet pan. For the eyes, press two slices of olives on each brat.
Step 6: Bake at 375℉ until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
Expert Tips
- If you use the original crescent roll dough, unroll it and press the seams together to form one rectangular piece. Then, proceed with cutting the dough into strips.
- To prepare in advance, assemble the brats, wrap them tightly, and refrigerate for up to one day. Bake them when ready to serve.
