Description
A delightful finger food made with flaky pastry and savory cocktail sausages, perfect for holiday parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed) or 1 can crescent roll dough (thawed)
- 24 cocktail sausages (or mini hot dogs, pre-cooked)
- 1 large egg + 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- Optional seasonings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or smoked paprika
- Optional garnishes/dips: mustard, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, cranberry chutney
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold and roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until slightly thinner; if using crescent dough, separate into triangles. Slice into 24 even strips about 1 inch wide.
- Place one cocktail sausage at the end of each strip and roll snugly, tucking the seam underneath.
- Arrange the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to make an egg wash and brush it lightly over each pig in a blanket. Sprinkle with optional seeds or seasoning if desired.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown, rotating halfway through if necessary. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
These can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or frozen unbaked for a quick snack later.
