Ingredients

• 6 pieces hot dogs
• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 pieces jalapeños (seeded and finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or chili flakes (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut each hot dog into 2-inch pieces; you should get approximately 3 pieces from each hot dog.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, chopped jalapeños, and hot sauce until well-combined.

Step 4

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 12 equal squares using a knife or pizza cutter.

Step 5

Spoon a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 6

Place one piece of hot dog onto the cream cheese mixture in each square.

Step 7

Carefully wrap the puff pastry around the hot dog piece, sealing the edges by pinching them together. Place the wrapped hot dog bites seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush the egg wash over each bite to give them a golden, shiny finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or chili flakes for added texture and a spicy kick, if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these spicy treats warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or spicy mayo.
