Steps:

• Cook hot dogs. Divide 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese among 3 large flour tortillas. Microwave one at a time on high until cheese melts, about 30 seconds. Cut each tortilla into four 1/2-inch strips and wrap a strip around each of 4 hot dogs, leaving a gap at one end for eyes. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place crushed red pepper seeds on hot dogs for eyes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick foil. On work surface, unroll a pie crust and, using a pizza wheel, cut crust into 3/8-in. strips. Working with 1 frank at a time, wrap one-half to two-thirds of the cocktail frank with a dough strip (like a bandage), cutting the dough to fit. Repeat with remaining franks. Arrange on prepared baking sheet. Using a small paring knife, make a horizontal slit on the unwrapped end of each frank, and insert an almond slice into the slit to resemble a toenail. Brush dough bandages with egg wash. Bake 10 minutes, or until pastry is light golden brown. Serve immediately with ketchup.
