INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN CHICKEN HOT DOGS:

  • They give a savory filling and familiar hot dog taste to the mummies. Their shape is easy to wrap with pastry strips for a perfect look. You may use lean turkey hot dogs as per your preference.

SANDWICH BREAD:

  • It makes the coffin-shaped base of the boats and includes crisp around the edges. This bread holds the melted cheese, ketchup, and mummy hot dog nicely. You may use whole-wheat sandwich bread as per your preference.

REDUCED-FAT MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • This makes the cheesy layer inside the bread coffins and melts smoothly. It pairs well with the chicken hot dogs and adds a creamy taste. You may use part-skim mozzarella as another choice.

REDUCED-SUGAR KETCHUP:

  • It includes a sweet and tangy tomato taste in the dish. Ketchup pairs well with the hot dogs and cheese. You may use tomato salsa as an alternative.

  7. Bake them for 18 minutes, then take the tray from the oven and cool the mummies.
  8. Put the light sandwich bread slices on the board and cut each slice into coffin shape.
  9. Press the center of the slices and leave the raised border around the edges to make a small space.
  10. Mix melted butter with parsley in the bowl and brush it thinly on the bread coffin.
  11. Divide the mozzarella in the center of the bread coffins and arrange it on the second sheet.
