Cheesy Pigs in a Blanket
Yield 30 Pieces
Ingredients:
1 16-ounce package hot dogs with cheese (10
hot dogs per package), drained
1 sheet
frozen puff pastry (from 17-ounce package),
thawed
1 egg, beaten
1 Tablespoon cold
water
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Pat hot dogs dry. Preheat oven to
400 degrees F.
2. On a lightly floured
surface, unfold thawed puff pastry sheet.
Press fold perforations together to make a
solid sheet. Using a rolling pen, roll
pastry sheet to measure 15 x 10-inches.
Cut into 10 rectangles, each measuring 3 x
5-inches.
3. Roll each hot dog in pastry
rectangle, gently stretching and pressing dough
ends together to seal.
4. Cut each wrapped
hot dog into 3 pieces (about 1-1/2
inches).
5. Beat egg and water together in a
small bowl. Quickly dip each wrapped hot
dog into egg wash and then roll in cheese,
coating all surfaces. Place, 1 inch
apart, seams side down, on baking sheets lined
with parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick
cooking spray.
6. Bake in preheated 400
degree F oven for 15 minutes or until pastry is
light brown. Immediately transfer to
cooling rack. Serve warm with assorted
mustards or barbecue sauces.
