I thought this was easier than previous reviews indicated. I've tangled w/phyllo before so was on edge. Tried TJ’s phyllo, it was great. Light, flaky & held up to butter application & slicing. Working phyllo strips around hotdogs separately worked better than rolling them in bunches. Opted for light salting only after first butter brushing, went lighter on second butter application after I folded over phyllo. A nice sharp knife held at a severe angle cut through phyllo w/out breaking. Butter didn't cool fully until last sheet of phyllo & that made the application harder & rolling phyllo around hot dog more difficult with slightly cooled butter. I recommend keeping butter liquid throughout. Prepping 9 hotdogs, oven ready, was ~20 minutes. Omitted cheese, though. Cooked up fine in the oven, looked more or less like the pictures. Kids liked them but real fans were other adult guests who thought they were cool. Phyllo made a nice crunch, a change from standard pigs n'blankets.

Made this using cheese-filled cocktail hot dogs. Used crescent rolls for the wrap, which worked great if you stretched the dough as you wrapped the hot dog. The platter was empty in about 10 minutes. You could cut back on the salt and not miss it.

They were right...scrap the phyllo and use cresent dough...cheese all over the baking sheet and none in the dogs...made these for a halloween party, 50 guests..waste of time and money...poor recipe.

Instead of hotdogs I used italian sausage, but the phyllo was really difficult to keep on the sausage! It was so tricky to work with when you cut it into strips because it would tear really easily when you were cutting it into strips. I ended up wrapping the sausages in a single sheet of phyllo and covering it with leftover scraps of phyllo for the mummy effect. Worked ok, but as another reviewer suggested it would probably be best to use crescent roll dough or even puff pastry to wrap the sausages for a mummy wraps look. A video tutorial for this recipe would be helpful.

Maybe the reviewer that dumped the phyllo dough had a better idea. The phyllo dough has the right idea, but it doesn't produce a product looking like the photo. Could be I only use phyllo 4 or 5 times a year, so I am not an expert, but.....really was a bit of work for a fun little appetizer for the kids. Have to say the kids were impressed even if I wasn't.

Dump the phyllo dough and get crescent rolls. Use a handy pizza cutter and then follow the package directions: 375, 11-13 minutes. And I left the cheese out. HUGE hit with the kids and adults.

Well first of all, I used Chicken & Turkey Dogs. Secondly, it is true if you cook them for 15-20 min. the cheese melts out and the dogs to curl up.
I then reduced the cooking time to 10-13 min. and they didn't curl up but the cheese did still melt out. When working with the phyllo dough it is pretty hard to wrap 1/2 dog into a mummy look. I found if I dipped the dog into melted butter it seemed much easier to wrap.

This will work perfectly with a bit of change. Oven temperature of 350 instead of 400 for 20 minutes. The phyllo dough may not turn gold or brown but it keeps the shape. I made this for my Halloween party and everybody thought it is cool and yummy.

I bit disappointed--the hot dogs split when baked and didn't look much like mummies. Tasted good but lost the look.
