Hot Dogs in Puff Pastry

Source of Recipe

From "Go-To Dinners" by Ina Garten


Recipe Introduction

"During the pandemic, I challenged myself to make something from ingredients I had on hand and post it on Instagram to give people ideas for dinner. One day, I had hot dogs, mustard, and frozen puff pastry and while they're just fancy pigs in blankets, I have to admit, they were pretty delicious!"

List of Ingredients

â—¦ All-purpose flour
â—¦ 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator
â—¦ 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard, divided
â—¦ 4 all-beef hot dogs
â—¦ 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
â—¦ Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon, and freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Dust a cutting board lightly with flour and unfold one sheet of the pastry on the board. Roll lightly with a floured rolling pin to smooth out the folds. Cut two (5 ½- by 4-inch) rectangles of pastry. With the 5 ½-inch side facing you, brush 1 teaspoon of mustard across the lower half of each rectangle. Place a hot dog on top of the mustard toward the lower edge and roll the pastry up and away from you over the hot dog. The hot dog should be totally encased in pastry. Brush the far inside edge with the egg wash to seal the pastry and place it on the prepared sheet pan, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry and hot dogs to make four rolls total.

Brush the tops and sides of puff pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with the sea salt and pepper. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the pastry is browned and cooked through. Serve hot with extra mustard on the side.
