Print Recipe

A quick and festive Halloween snack featuring hot dogs wrapped in flaky puff pastry to look like mummies, served with a tangy Dijon honey mustard dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 regular or beef hot dogs
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (about 8 ounces or 225 grams), thawed but still cold
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If stiff, gently roll it out to smooth creases but keep it cold. Slice the pastry into strips about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) wide.
  3. Wrap each hot dog diagonally with the puff pastry strips, leaving gaps to create a mummy look. Leave a small space at one end uncovered for the ‘face’.
  4. Place wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet with space between each. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using.
  5. Brush each wrapped hot dog with beaten egg wash to achieve a golden crust.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. While baking, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Let hot dogs cool for a couple of minutes after baking. Serve warm or at room temperature with the Dijon honey mustard sauce on the side.

Notes

Do not unwrap puff pastry until just thawed but still cold to avoid stickiness. Leave gaps between pastry strips to allow puffing. Egg wash is essential for a golden crust; milk or cream can substitute but with less shine. Watch baking time closely to prevent burning. Sauce can be made ahead to meld flavors. For spicier sauce, add cayenne or hot sauce. Crescent roll dough can substitute puff pastry but will be less flaky. Freeze wrapped but unbaked hot dogs for later use; bake from frozen adding 5-7 minutes.
