Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheets
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to smooth out any creases.
Cut the puff pastry sheet into 4 equal rectangles, one for each hot dog.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each rectangle of puff pastry, positioning it toward one end.
Set a hot dog on top of each cheese slice, then roll the pastry around the hot dog and cheese tightly. Pinch the edges to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the tops of each wrapped hot dog to give them a golden, shiny finish.
For added texture, sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds (optional).
Place the prepared hot dogs onto the lined baking sheet, seam side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with small containers of ketchup and mustard for dipping, and enjoy your Lunch Box Hot Hot Dogs!
