Ingredients
Scale
- 24 mini sausages or cocktail wieners
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Roll out gently if needed to smooth creases. Cut each sheet into 12 strips about 1.5 inches wide and 4 inches long.
- Place one mini sausage at the edge of each strip and roll tightly, sealing the dough around the sausage. Pinch edges to seal. Dust fingers with flour if dough is sticky.
- Arrange wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
- Brush each pig in a blanket with beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top if desired.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Check after 12 minutes to avoid burning.
- While baking, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste and chill until serving.
- Remove pigs in a blanket from oven and transfer to a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm with honey mustard dip.
Notes
If puff pastry becomes too warm and sticky, chill in the fridge for 10 minutes before continuing. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to keep pastry crispy. Egg wash can be applied twice for extra shine. Honey mustard dip can be made ahead and chilled. For gluten-free option, use almond flour-based dough. Crescent roll dough can be used but will yield softer texture.
