Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 24 pieces cocktail sausages
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your countertop with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth and even thickness (if not pre-rolled).
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 12 equal strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Take one cocktail sausage and wrap it diagonally in a strip of puff pastry, ensuring it overlaps slightly to secure it. Pinch the ends to seal.
Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each to allow for puffing.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffy.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the pigs in blankets to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or honey mustard.
