Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound cocktail sausages
  • 1 package puff pastry (about 17.3 ounces)
  • 1 egg (beaten for egg wash)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: mustard or ketchup for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pigs in blankets.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  3. Roll Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick for the perfect wrapping layer.
  4. Cut Pastry Strips: Using a knife, cut the puff pastry into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long to wrap around the sausages.
  5. Wrap Sausages: Place one cocktail sausage at the end of each pastry strip and roll it up tightly, ensuring the pastry overlaps to seal properly. Repeat with all sausages.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between them to allow puffing.
  7. Apply Egg Wash and Season: Brush the tops of the wrapped sausages with the beaten egg to give a golden finish and sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with optional mustard or ketchup for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a small amount of cheese or herbs inside the pastry wrap before baking.
  • Ensure the puff pastry is properly sealed around the sausages to prevent unrolling during baking.
  • Use cold puff pastry and keep it chilled until ready to roll for best results.
  • If using frozen puff pastry, thaw it in the refrigerator according to package instructions before use.
  • These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving for convenience.
