Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheets into a thin layer, ensuring they are large enough to wrap around the sausages.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, grainy mustard, and chopped parsley until smooth and evenly combined.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into three equal rectangles. You should have a total of 6 pieces.
Spread about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each puff pastry rectangle.
Place one Frankfurter sausage at the edge of each pastry rectangle and roll it up tightly, sealing the seam by pinching the pastry edges together.
Transfer the wrapped Frankfurters to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Beat the egg in a small bowl, then brush the tops of the pastry-wrapped sausages with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with extra mustard or ketchup on the side, if desired.
