🌭 Ingredients (Makes 6 mummy sausages)

For the Dough (Fathead Dough):

  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2 tbsp cream cheese

  • ¾ cup almond flour

  • 1 egg

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling & Decoration:

  • 6 mini sugar-free sausages (or uncured cocktail hot dogs)

  • Mustard (for eyes)

  • Optional: peppercorns, sliced olives, or sugar-free ketchup for decoration

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese (about 1 minute).
Stir until smooth.
Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, and egg. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

💡 Tip: If sticky, chill in the fridge for 10 minutes or lightly oil your hands.

Step 2: Roll and Slice the Dough

Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to about ¼ inch thick.

Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into long, thin strips—these will become the mummy wrappings.

Step 3: Wrap the Mummies

Wrap each sausage with strips of dough in a criss-cross “mummy” pattern, leaving a small gap near the top for the eyes.

Place wrapped sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown and the sausages are cooked through.

Let cool for 5 minutes before decorating.

Step 5: Add Eyes

Use a toothpick to dot mustard in the eye gaps.
For extra fun, use sliced olives, pepper flakes, or sesame seeds as eyeballs.
