So starting off with my new adventure of cooking my way through Tyler Florence's cookbook I decided to start out with a great dish for watching the Super Bowl. These "haute" dogs are nothing more than glorified pigs in a blanket, but man are they glorious! In the recipe you are supposed to use a sausage and put caraway seeds on top but seeing as it is just me and the boys I opted for beef hotdogs and no seeds. They still turned out fantastic.
The ingredient list is a hard one, are you ready? Hotdogs....and puff pastry. I know, it blows my mind too! To be fair Tyler Florence's recipe calls for high grade sausage, puff pastry, caraway seeds and an egg white to give it a nice shine and make the seeds stick. I made mine the same he made his though.
I used kosher salt instead of caraway seeds just to give it an extra bite. Alright are you ready for the directions? Thaw the puff pastry. Cut one sheet into six pieces. Wrap one hotdog in one piece of cut puff pastry. Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet with seam side down. You can glaze with a beaten egg white if you do so choose. Sprinkle anything you'd like on top. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Voila! Delicious new take on pigs in a blanket!!
Here they are! I added a little crushed black pepper to a couple to just to experiment. Phenomenal! A nice side of yellow mustard was a great sidekick!
Seeing as his plate is clean Im "assuming" that Ty liked them too! But you know what assuming does! Cam ate them more delicately by poking the hotdog out first then eating the pastry, but hey, he ate his dinner!!
A very successful dinner on the first leg of cooking my way through this cookbook. I think this is a good sign!
