Since I'm not not known as one who can dazzle anyone with my kitchen skills....I've settled on this supposed easy appetizer for the New Year's Party I'm attending this year. Actually, if you must know my secrets, as long as you plop these puppies on a serious looking tray, like this silver one here, and throw those little poppy seeds on the little buggers, you're home free. No would dare question the appropriateness of anything on a silver tray with poppy seeds. (Hopefully they'll have quite a bit of other food, who knows how these will turn out).
2 sheet(s) frozen pastry dough, thawed
12 all-beef hot dogs
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
Poppy seeds, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 puff pastry dough sheet into a 12- by 14-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 equal pieces for a total of 6 pastry pieces. Repeat with second pastry.
Pat hot dogs dry with paper towels and pierce each several times with a fork. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and salt for egg wash. Roll each hot dog in 1 puff pastry piece, then seal with some egg wash.
Place pastry-wrapped hot dogs on parchment-lined baking sheets and lightly brush with remaining egg wash; sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Slice each pastry-wrapped hot dog into 5 sections and serve warm with spicy mustard, if desired.
Happy New Year!
