Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make these Halloween Sausage Mummies.

Sausages (meat or vegetarian)

Choose your favorite sausages. Meat or veggie options both work well. Pick medium-sized ones so the pastry wraps neatly without overwhelming the sausage.

Ready-rolled puff pastry

Pre-rolled puff pastry makes this recipe fast and stress-free. It crisps beautifully in the oven and creates the perfect “bandages.”

Egg wash (1 beaten egg + water or milk)

The egg wash gives your pastry mummies a shiny, golden finish. Without it, they’ll still bake but won’t have that appealing glow.

Edible or homemade eyes

You can buy candy eyes or make your own with tiny cheese circles and black sesame seeds. Adding them at the end brings your mummies to life in a fun way.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Preheat oven and prepare baking tray

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper so the pastry won’t stick.

Step 2 – Cut puff pastry into strips

Unroll your pastry and cut it into long, thin strips about ½ inch wide. These strips will serve as your mummy “bandages.”

Step 3 – Wrap sausages to look like mummies

Take each sausage and wrap pastry strips around it, leaving small gaps here and there for the “face” area where the eyes will go. Don’t worry about being too neat—messy looks more authentic.

Step 4 – Brush with egg wash

Place the wrapped sausages on your tray. Brush each one with egg wash to help them crisp and turn golden in the oven.

Step 5 – Bake until golden brown

Bake for 18–20 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden. Rotate the tray halfway through for even cooking.

Step 6 – Add eyes and serve

Once out of the oven, press edible eyes into the exposed sausage section. If making homemade eyes, add your cheese-and-sesame pieces now. Serve immediately while warm.

How to Make Homemade Edible Eyes

Homemade edible eyes are simple and fun. Just slice tiny circles from a piece of cheese and press a black sesame seed in the middle of each one. If you want them to stick, dab a bit of cream cheese or mayonnaise on the back before pressing onto the sausage. They look playful and save you from needing store-bought candy eyes. You can also experiment with olives or peppercorns for different effects.

Tips for Perfect Sausage Mummies

Keeping pastry crisp

Make sure your oven is fully preheated and avoid overcrowding the tray. This ensures the pastry puffs up and stays flaky.

Adding eyes after baking

Always add the eyes after the mummies come out of the oven. Otherwise, they may melt or slide off during baking.

Fun serving ideas for kids

Place the mummies on a platter with ketchup “blood” or serve alongside Witches’ Potion Punch Halloween drink for a kid-friendly fright-night treat.

Serving Suggestions

Best dipping sauces to try

These mummies taste great with ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce. For extra Halloween flair, serve them with a bowl of “bloody” marinara sauce.

Fun Halloween presentation ideas

Arrange the mummies on a spooky platter with cobweb decorations or scatter some plastic spiders around. Pair them with dishes like Bloody spaghetti with mozzarella eyeballs for a full Halloween feast.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

Refrigerating leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reheating for best texture

Reheat them in the oven for 5–7 minutes at 180°C to crisp the pastry back up. Avoid microwaving, as it makes the pastry soggy.

Freezer-friendly notes

You can freeze unbaked wrapped sausages for up to a month. Bake from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes to the cooking time.
