Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 8 hot dogs (regular, beef, chicken, or veggie)
- Yellow mustard (for eyes)
- 1 egg (beaten with 1 tbsp water for egg wash)
- Optional: smoked paprika or garlic powder (for sprinkling on pastry strips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Roll out thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and slice into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.
- Wrap each hot dog with pastry strips, leaving small gaps to mimic mummy bandages and allowing the hot dog to peek through.
- Brush the wrapped hot dogs lightly with egg wash for a golden finish.
- Place wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake for 15–18 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and, while still warm, use a toothpick or small brush to dot two mustard eyes on each hot dog.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
If pastry browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Keep puff pastry cold before cutting to prevent stickiness. Don’t wrap hot dogs too tightly to allow steam to escape and pastry to puff. Use a toothpick for precise mustard eyes. For variations, add smoked paprika or garlic powder to pastry strips or try different hot dog types.
