Mummy sausages


Ingredients

1 roll of puff pastry
10 sausages
Sauce (mustard, ketchup,...) (for the eyes)

Preparation

1- Cut the puff pastry into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide. Roll up the sausages with the strips, but leave a wide space at the top to use as a head later.

2 - Place the sausages in the oven at 200º for 10 minutes until golden. Let it cool.

3 – Use the sauce (mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup...) to decorate the head and outline some eyes or mouth.

Creepy eggs


Ingredients

5 eggs
Mayonnaise
1 can of tuna
5 black olives (pitted and stuffed)


Preparation

1 – Boil the eggs, peel and cut in half. Remove the yolks to a bowl and reserve the egg halves.

2 – With the help of a fork, mix the yolks with the mayonnaise and the tuna until you make a homogeneous paste and fill the halves of the eggs again with the help of a spoon.

3- Use the olives to make spiders and decorate the open part of the eggs. Cut the olives in half, use one of the olive halves to make the spider's body and cut the other half into thinner strips (6 or 8 strips) to make the spider's legs.

4 – Compose the spider over the egg stuffing and it can serve!
