Ingredients
- Fully cooked brats - Use cooked bratwurst, like Johnsonville smoked brats. Raw brats are thicker and won't have time to get cooked completely through.
- Cheese sticks - I like using individually wrapped cheese sticks which are the perfect size for stuffing the brats. Cheddar and Colby are my favorite, but Pepper Jack cheese would be delicious too.
- Crescent roll dough - This readily available shortcut is perfect for preparing quick-cooking snacks like these brats. I prefer the reduced-fat variety because the dough isn't so greasy.
- Spanish Manzanilla olives - These green olives stuffed with pimentos are the perfect ghoulish touch for mummy eyes.
Instructions
- Cut a slit in the brats, lengthwise. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Press a cheese stick into the slit in the bratwurst.
- Unroll the crescent dough. Press the seams together and cut into strips. Wrap the strips around the brats in mummy-like fashion. Press two olive slices into the dough for the eyes.
- Transfer the brats to a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake at 375 degrees until the cheese is melted and the dough is golden brown, approx. 15 minutes.
- Serve with mustard and ketchup for dipping.
