My brother David sent me a box from Omaha Steaks for my birthday last month and there were these jumbo hot dogs. Then I saw that Ina Garten made hot dogs wrapped in puff pastry, which really should be called Hot-dogs à la Pâte Feuilletée. I had no buns, but I did have and ALWAYS have frozen puff pastry. So of course, I made this for dinner because - Je t'adore hot dogs!
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Yields: 2 - 4 Servings
Ingredients
1 to 2 sheets puff pastry, defrosted and refrigerated
Good Dijon mustard
4 hot dogs, such as Hebrew National
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
1Preheat the oven to 375° F.
2Lay the cold puff pastry on a board and cut a 5½-inch wide strip to match the length of the hot dogs. Brush a 3-inch-wide strip of the cut pastry generously with Dijon mustard. Place a hot dog at the end of the pastry where you brushed the mustard and roll it up and away from you one turn, until the hot dog is just encased in one layer of pastry and mustard. Brush the next 1-inch strip of pastry with the egg wash and continue to roll the hot dog, so the pastry is completely sealed. Cut any remaining pastry across and place the hot dog, seam side down, on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Prepare the remaining 3 hot dogs the same way.
3Brush the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle generously with sea salt and pepper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pastry is nicely browned. Serve hot with extra mustard on the side.
