Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs preferably fresh
  • 1 package puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 egg egg beaten, for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon water for egg wash

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush
  • Sharp knife
  • Small spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice each hot dog lengthwise about three-quarters of the way through, creating a pocket while keeping the bottom intact.
  3. Fill each hot dog with a small spoonful of shredded mozzarella cheese, then gently fold the hot dog to help seal the cheese inside.
  4. Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut it into strips about 1/2 inch wide.
  5. Wrap each hot dog with a thin strip of puff pastry, starting at one end and spiraling around, leaving the hot dog exposed at the top for a mummy-like appearance.
  6. Mix the beaten egg with a splash of water to make an egg wash, then brush this over the pastry to give it a shiny, golden finish.
  7. Place the wrapped hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the cheese inside is bubbling.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for about 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to set and the pastry to crisp further.
  10. Serve warm, enjoying the crispy pastry, melted cheese, and playful mummy appearance.

Notes

For extra fun, add small edible eyes on the puff pastry before baking to enhance the mummy look.
