Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces mini sausages
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with 2 tablespoons of flour.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure they are smooth and have softened slightly for easy handling.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into strips approximately 1.5 inches wide and 3 inches long.
Place one mini sausage on the edge of a pastry strip and carefully roll until the sausage is completely wrapped. Press the seam to seal, tucking in the ends if needed.
Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart.
In a small bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the top of each pig in a blanket with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.
Sprinkle a pinch of poppy seeds over each wrapped sausage for added flavor and decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow the pigs in a blanket to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces like mustard or ketchup.
