This hot dog pickle sandwich is what happens when a classic hot dog meets a savory puff pastry wrap, and the result is dangerously good. With crunchy pickles, gooey cheese, and golden flaky pastry all wrapped around a juicy hot dog, it’s the kind of snack or lunch that hits every craving in one bite.

It’s quick to prep, fun to make, and seriously satisfying. You only need a few ingredients, and it bakes up in just 20 minutes.

Before you get started

Thaw your puff pastry sheet ahead of time if it’s frozen—Jus-Rol or any store-bought brand works great. Make sure to pat the pickle slices dry so the pastry doesn’t get soggy. A light brush of egg yolk gives that golden bakery-style finish.

Use parchment paper for easy cleanup, and don’t overstuff—the pastry needs to stay sealed.

How To Make Hot Dog Pickle Sandwich

1

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lay out your puff pastry sheet on a flat surface and cut it into a rectangle big enough to wrap one hot dog.

2

Place a hot dog in the center. Lay about 4 pickle slices on either side of the hot dog like a sandwich, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.

3

Wrap the puff pastry around the whole thing, sealing the edges so nothing leaks out during baking. Place it seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4

Brush the top with whisked egg yolk for a golden finish.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving—it’ll be hot!
