Ingredients
Filling
- 8 oz mini sausages (about 24)
- 8 oz cheese sticks (mozzarella or cheddar)
Dough
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
Finish
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional: garlic powder or Italian herbs to sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid easy cleanup.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet flat and cut it into rectangles sized appropriately to wrap around each mini sausage and half a cheese stick.
- Assemble Pigs in a Blanket: Place one mini sausage and half of a cheese stick at the edge of each puff pastry rectangle. Roll the pastry tightly but gently around the sausage and cheese to enclose the filling securely.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush this over each rolled pastry piece to give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Bake: Arrange the prepared rolls spaced apart on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
Notes
- Allow the puff pastry to thaw completely for easier handling and better puffing during baking.
- You can add a sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian herbs on the egg wash for extra flavor.
- Serve warm to enjoy the gooey melted cheese inside the flaky pastry.
- These can be made ahead and baked just before serving.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry so edges remain neat and baking is even.
