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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly dust your countertop with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth and even thickness (if not pre-rolled).
Step 3
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 12 equal strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each to allow for puffing.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Step 7
Brush the tops of the pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffy.
Step 9
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the pigs in blankets to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or honey mustard.
