Ingredients
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 tablespoon Finely chopped green onion about 1 large green onion
- 1 teaspoon dijon
- 1 small clove garlic finely grated
- 6 hot dogs
- 1 large egg
- 1 sheet puff pastry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Thoroughly combine shredded cheese, cream cheese, green onions, dijon and garlic in a medium bowl.
- Cut each hot dog into 5 pieces, about 1-inch long, for 30 pieces total.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle about 12-inches by 10-inches.
- With the long edge towards you, cut the puff pastry vertically into 6 long strips. Then cut the strips horizontally into 5 sections, resulting in 30 squares.
- Evenly spoon the cheese mixture into the center of each square, about ½ teaspoon per square.
- Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water.
- Brush the top right corner of the square with egg wash.
- Pace a hot dog piece horizontally ontop of the cheese mixture.
- Wrap two corners around the hot dog with the egg wash corner on top to seal the puff pastry and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Evenly brush all pigs in a blanket with egg wash.
- Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Serve immediately!
