Puff pastry wrapped appetizers, such as hot dogs or sweet Italian sausages, delight at gatherings. Their balance of salty and buttery flavors makes them a favorite for parties. Ina Garten’s variation features hot dogs served on a plate, elevated with a side salad, transforming them into a light dinner. Using herbs and cheese inside the puff pastry adds flavor and creativity. The simplicity of working with puff pastry, as long as it remains cool, lends itself to various fillings, allowing for customization based on preference.
This beloved appetizer is just the right balance of salty and buttery - the perfect snack to plop on a platter for a book club, a birthday, and especially a cocktail hour.
Though it's usually served in bite-size pieces with a toothpick, Garten's version leans all the way into the fun of it.
Start with hot dogs - or even cooked sweet Italian sausages - and wrap each one in a strip of thawed puff pastry.
For a delicious upgrade, slice each dog down the center lengthwise and tuck in a narrow strip of cheese - cheddar, Gruyère.
