A quick and easy recipe for crispy, flaky pigs in a blanket served with a tangy homemade mustard dip. Perfect for parties or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • About 20 mini cocktail sausages (pork or beef recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Thaw puff pastry sheets at room temperature until pliable but still cold, about 20 minutes.
  3. Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and slice into strips about 1 to 1½ inches wide.
  4. Wrap each cocktail sausage with a puff pastry strip, rolling snugly but not too tight.
  5. Place wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush each wrapped sausage with the egg wash.
  7. Brush melted butter lightly over each piece.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown, checking around 12 minutes to avoid over-browning.
  9. While baking, prepare the mustard dip by combining yellow mustard, honey, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and refrigerate until serving.
  10. Serve warm with the mustard dip on the side.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold for best puffing. Do not wrap dough too tightly to allow puffing. Use egg wash for golden color. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning. Make mustard dip ahead and refrigerate for better flavor. For gluten-free, use gluten-free pastry sheets; for dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free puff pastry.
