Pig in a Blanket
Dive into the delightful world of appetizers with our classic Pig in a Blanket recipe! Perfect for parties, this easy-to-make snack wraps juicy cocktail sausages in a golden, flaky puff pastry. Not only is it a crowd-pleaser, but it's also fun and quick to prepare, making it ideal for both big events and cozy family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 package of cocktail sausages (about 24 pieces)
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
- Flour for dusting
- Optional: sesame seeds or poppy seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour your working surface and unfold the puff pastry. Cut the pastry into thin strips about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
- Wrap each cocktail sausage with a strip of puff pastry, sealing the ends by pressing them gently.
- Brush the outside of each wrapped sausage with the beaten egg. This will give your pigs in a blanket a beautiful golden color once baked.
- If desired, sprinkle some sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
- Arrange the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade pigs in a blanket warm!
