Sometimes your normal hot dog sandwiches can get a little boring. I sure was bored with that, so i wanted to do something unique, fun, surprising…..and of course, delicious.
I opened my freezer and i saw my good friend, Mr. Puff pastry smiling at me. 😊😊 I definitely wanted to use puff pastry as it will give an extra crunch to the hot dogs. Then i thought of teaming up hot dog and hard boiled egg and presenting them in a different yet beautiful manner. Tried it, and it was a success story with my fussy eater husband. Yaaay! Even though he usually doesn’t adore hotdogs much, he loved this. 🙂 🙂
This is a great recipe for kid’s lunch boxes, an absolute great finger food idea for birthday parties, for breakfast or just anytime of the day when your tastebuds demand you of some toothsome appetizer.
Serves 2
Yields 4
4 square puff pastry sheets
2 tbsp oil
1 egg slightly beaten
Mozzarella cheese
4 hot dogs
For hot dogs:
1/4 tsp pepper pdr
1/2 tsp red chilly pdr
1 tsp sweet chilly sauce
1/2 tsp tomato ketchup
2 eggs (hard boiled)
For eggs:
1/2 tsp red chilly pdr
1/2 tsp pepper pdr
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 180°C
1. Heat oil in a pan and cook the hot dogs for a minute.
2. Add all the ingredients for hot dog and fry for 2 minutes.
3. Keep the hot dogs aside.
4. Slice the eggs into two. Marinate the eggs with chilly pdr, pepper and salt. In the same oil which you fried the hot dogs fry the eggs too for a minute.
Assembling:
1. On a square puff pastry sheet, place the hot dog.
2. Roll it well sealing the edges. (pinch the dough edges between two fingers, so that they are firmly attached)
3. Cut approximately 1cm slices and place them in a flower shape around a slice of the egg on a lined baking tray.
4. Egg wash the puff pastry.
5. Arrange mozzarella cheese on top of the egg.
Place it in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes till the puff pastry is flaky and the cheese gets all melted.
Serve hot.
Notes:
✔️ Instead of the puff pastry you can also use pizza dough.
✔️ If you would like to have more flavor for the egg, you can make an onion masala and place on top of the egg and then add the cheese. For that cut 1 onion into very thin slices. Sauté it in little oil and when it turns brown add 2 chopped green chillies, a tsp of pepper and salt.

Awww! How sweet! Thanks!
How did u arrange them around the egg. Wish there were foto showing that. U just placed each slice of hotdog around egg? But how do they stick on each other and on the egg?
Hey Shabna. There is a pictorial of how I assembled this. The egg will stick because of the mozzarella cheese on top of it.
