Mini Kosher Hot Dogs in Blankets, a puff pastry blanket takes the classic appetizer to a whole new level of deliciousness. While the traditional “pigs in a blanket” are tasty on their own, wrapping them in flaky puff pastry adds an extra layer of flavor and texture. The buttery, flaky crust complements the juicy hot dogs perfectly, making each bite a delightful experience for your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• Mini kosher hot dogs or cocktail franks
• Puff pastry or crescent roll dough
• Egg (for egg wash)
• Sesame seeds or poppy seeds for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the puff pastry or crescent roll dough package, usually around 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the dough: Roll out the puff pastry or crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface. If using puff pastry, cut it into strips wide enough to wrap around the mini hot dogs. If using crescent rolls, separate them into triangles and cut each triangle into 2-3 smaller strips.
3. Wrap the hot dogs: Place a mini hot dog at the end of each strip of dough and roll it up. Make sure the dough overlaps slightly and press to seal.
4. Egg wash: In a small bowl, beat an egg. Brush the top of each wrapped hot dog with the egg wash. This will give them a golden color when baked.
5. Add garnish: If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top of the egg-washed dough.
6. Bake: Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed up.
7. Cool and serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be served with your favorite dipping sauces, such as mustard or ketchup.
