Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Using a sharp knife cut out twelve 1 by 2-inch rectangles. Place 1 hot dog in the center of each square and roll up the two sides of the puff pastry meet, but do not pinch together. Place open side down on the prepared sheet pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden.

Optional garnish: Cut the gherkins in half and use for a tail. Trim a 3/4 circle on both sides of a cherry tomato to resemble ears. Insert the tomato on one end of the hot dog. Use black olive slices for eyes.

Yield: 12 hot dogs
