Ingredients

Scale

Hot Dog Bites

  • 4 large hot dogs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional: sesame seeds

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp parsley flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Hot Dogs: Slice the large hot dogs into 1-inch pieces for bite-sized portions.
  2. Wrap with Puff Pastry: Cut the puff pastry sheet into strips. Wrap each hot dog piece with a strip of puff pastry ensuring it’s fully covered.
  3. Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg lightly and brush it over each wrapped hot dog bite. This helps achieve a golden, glossy exterior when baked.
  4. Arrange on Baking Tray: Place the wrapped bites on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Optionally sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Bake the bites for 12-14 minutes or until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
  6. Prepare Garlic Butter: While baking, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and parsley flakes until well combined.
  7. Brush with Garlic Butter: Immediately after baking, brush the hot, crispy bites with the prepared garlic butter sauce to infuse them with rich flavor.
  8. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use refrigerated puff pastry for convenience and best results; thaw according to package instructions before using.
  • For an extra crispy exterior, apply a second layer of egg wash before baking.
  • Feel free to add a sprinkle of shredded cheese inside the puff pastry before wrapping the hot dogs for added richness.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or ranch dressing for variety.
  • These hot dog bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
