Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 large hot dogs
- 2 (10-inch) puff pastry sheets, thawed and divided in half
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large egg white, beaten for egg wash
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- Kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Heat up the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the hot dogs until brown on all sides (3-4 minutes). (You can microwave in a pinch.)
- Divide the puff pastry sheets in half, creating four sheets. Top each equally with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese and then a hotdog.
- Using a small amount of water, wet the edges of each of the puff pastry sheets. Fold each sheet to enclose the hot dog and cheese.
- Brush each pastry with egg wash on all sides.
- Place the pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, pocket seam down.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the hot dogs are baking, mix together the melted butter, garlic salt, and parsley in a small bowl.
- Brush each hotdog pocket with the butter mixture, and top each with Kosher salt, to taste.
- Bake 5 more minutes and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
