Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 18 pieces cocktail sausages
- 100 grams cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it out.
Slice the puff pastry into 18 even rectangles, approximately 2 inches by 3 inches.
Cut the cheddar cheese into 18 thin strips, the same length as the cocktail sausages.
Place one cheese strip on top of each puff pastry rectangle.
Lay a cocktail sausage on top of the cheese strip, then roll the puff pastry tightly around the sausage and cheese, starting from one end. Seal the edge by gently pressing the pastry together.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Arrange the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one with the egg wash to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
Allow the Cheesy Pigs in Blankets to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a party appetizer or snack!
