Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic

Preheat the oven to 390 °F (conventional oven) or 350 °F (convection oven) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place one sheet of puff pastry on your work surface and cut diagonally into a triangle.
4 sheets puff pastry
Put a slice of cheddar in the width end of the pastry. Place one Frankfurter on the bottom side of the cheese.
8 slices cheddar cheese, 8 Frankfurters
Mix the egg and water in a small bowl.
1 tablespoon egg, 1 tablespoon water
Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash.
Roll the pastry around the Frankfurter. Place the roll on the prepared baking tray. Brush the outside with more egg wash.
Repeat with the remaining puff pastry, cheddar, and Frankfurters.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Let them cool for a moment, then cut each roll into 3 pieces before serving.

1. This recipe makes 24 bite-size pieces. These are very handy for birthday parties and other casual gatherings.

2. The cheese inside can be hot right after baking, so take care when slicing.

3. Ovens can vary. If the pastry still looks pale, bake a little longer and watch for a golden brown color.

4. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard.

5. Storage and make ahead

Make ahead: You can prepare a batch a few hours ahead for a party and bake them when you’re ready to serve.
Don't store when baked: They’re at their best right after baking, while the pastry is crisp and the cheddar is still soft.
