Hot Dog in a Blanket with the Works

Always a crowd pleaser at any party, wedding, Bar or Bat Mitzvah and although some hate to admit. it is their favorite. This is the pass around appetizer that is always being searched for and the first to disappear. I took the basic Pig in a Blanket up a notch and made the best of a regular sized hot dog compact into one perfect bite.

This is an easy and impressive snack, that tastes and looks so much better than the ones you can buy in a box. I make them the way my family prefers with spicy brown mustard and sauerkraut, but any variation would work. Try them with relish, onions in sauce or chili, or any combination you think will work, give it a try and roll it up.

Ingredients:

4 kosher hot dogs

1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough

spicy brown mustard

sauerkraut strained of liquid

 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Defrost the puff pastry dough sheet 20-30 minutes . When it is soft unfold onto clean surface and pat down the folded seams so they don't split.

Place a hot dog along the top of each quarter of the puff pastry.

Top each hot dog with a few spoons of drained sauerkraut.

With the knife mark then cut each hot dog into 5 equal slices.

Cut the puff pastry into quarters, 4 equal parts.

Add a line of mustard to each hot dog.

Start rolling each hot dog till puff pastry is all rolled up.

On a greased tin or cookie sheet, line the hot dogs up with the seam side down. Bake for 20-25   minutes till golden brown.

Your hot dogs with the works all wrapped up will be a hit!

Enjoy
