Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces cocktail sausages
- 1 package puff pastry sheet
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dust a clean surface lightly with all-purpose flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it's smooth and slightly thinner, about 1/8-inch thick.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the puff pastry into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
Wrap each cocktail sausage with a strip of puff pastry, starting at one end and overlapping slightly as you roll. Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each wrapped sausage with the egg wash for a golden brown finish.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces, such as mustard or ketchup.
