1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
Cut a slit in each hot dog piece and stuff with a slice of cheese.
-
3
Set aside.
-
4
Combine the salt, garlic powder and pepper in a small bowl.
-
5
Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time and keeping the rest covered under a damp towel or paper towels, lay a phyllo sheet on a large cutting board or counter and lightly brush with melted butter.
-
6
Lightly sprinkle with some of the spice mix and fold in half lengthwise.
-
7
Brush the top with more melted butter and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips.
-
8
Using 2 pieces of stuffed hot dogs per phyllo sheet, wrap half of the strips around each piece of hot dog to create a mummy look.
-
9
Leave a small section of hot dog exposed towards the top so it looks like the top part of the face peeking out from the phyllo wrappings.
-
10
Don't worry about frayed edges or tears-- it will add to the mummy look.
-
11
Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining phyllo, melted butter, spice mix and hot dogs.
-
12
Remelt the butter if it cools down too much while forming the mummies.
-
13
Bake until the phyllo is crisp and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
-
14
If desired, dot ketchup or mustard eyes on each mummy using a toothpick and serve with extra sauces for dipping.
