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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean work surface with 2 tablespoons of flour.

Step 3

Roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure they are smooth and have softened slightly for easy handling.

Step 4

Cut each puff pastry sheet into strips approximately 1.5 inches wide and 3 inches long.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the top of each pig in a blanket with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pinch of poppy seeds over each wrapped sausage for added flavor and decoration.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the pigs in a blanket to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter.

Step 12

Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces like mustard or ketchup.
