Ingredients
Bacon
- 15 rashers/strips of smoked streaky bacon
Sausages
- 30 cocktail sausages
Additional
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) fan-assisted to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Bacon: Take each rasher of smoked streaky bacon and stretch it gently, then slice it in half widthways to create thinner strips.
- Wrap Sausages: Take one cocktail sausage and wrap a half strip of the prepared bacon around it, ensuring the bacon seam is underneath to keep it secure during cooking.
- Arrange on Tray: Place each bacon-wrapped sausage seam-side down on a baking tray. Repeat for all sausages and bacon strips.
- Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes, or until the sausages are fully cooked and the bacon has turned crisp.
- Add Honey: Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the baked sausages and return the tray to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. This will caramelize the honey slightly and add a lovely sweet glaze.
- Serve: Carefully remove the tray from the oven and let the Pigs in Blankets cool for about a minute, as the honey will be hot. Then transfer them to a serving plate and enjoy warm.
Notes
- For crispier bacon, use streaky smoked bacon as recommended.
- Honey drizzle adds a subtle sweetness; you can substitute with maple syrup if preferred.
- Serve as a party appetizer, snack, or as part of a festive meal.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on oven type.
- Be cautious when removing from the oven, honey will be hot and can burn.
