For a vegetarian version of the classic treat, wrap jarred artichoke hearts in puff pastry instead. They're the perfect, meaty filling inside the dough and they'll become nice and crisp after baking. Make sure to pat your hearts really dry before assembling. 

Just like mini hot dogs, asparagus spears have the perfect of crunch to be wrapped up. Instead of spreading Dijon, sprinkle a little bit of your favorite cheese shredded instead for an additional flavor. 

Pigs in a blanket can have a place on your breakfast table, as well. I wrap breakfast sausage in brick dough and serve them with a side of maple syrup. Use this basic recipe for a starting point, but brush the rolls in maple syrup instead of egg wash.
