Ingredients
Scale
- 8 regular or beef hot dogs
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Mustard or ketchup (for decorating the eyes)
- Black olives or edible candy eyes (optional)
- Optional: cheese slices (thinly sliced)
- Optional: garlic powder or dried herbs
- Optional: dairy-free puff pastry for dairy-free version
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Thaw the puff pastry if frozen, about 30-40 minutes until pliable but cool.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet gently and slice into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide.
- Wrap each hot dog with the pastry strips, leaving small gaps to mimic mummy wrappings. Overlap loosely.
- Beat the egg and brush each wrapped hot dog with egg wash for a golden finish.
- Add two small dots of mustard or ketchup as eyes, or use black olive slices or edible candy eyes.
- Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Transfer to a cooling rack for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Keep puff pastry cold until slicing and wrapping to prevent tearing. Use egg wash liberally for a golden crust. Check baking after 12 minutes to avoid burning. Can be baked in an air fryer at 375°F for about 12 minutes for a crisper result. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
