  • Author: Marlene Quinn
  • Total Time: 31 minutes
  • Yield: 20 servings 1x
  • Diet: Omnivore

Description

Delightful flaky pastry wrapped around savory sausages, perfect for gatherings and comfort food cravings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • Cocktail sausages or mini hot dogs
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Dijon mustard or whole-grain mustard (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or finely chopped fresh herbs (optional)
  • Melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thaw puff pastry sheets if frozen, and keep them cold until you roll. Work briskly to maintain flakiness.
  3. Unfold one sheet on a lightly floured board and roll to smooth seams. Cut into 3×4 inch rectangles.
  4. If desired, spread mustard down the center of each rectangle, then place a sausage at one end and roll towards the opposite edge, sealing with beaten egg.
  5. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle seeds if desired.
  6. Bake for 12–16 minutes until golden brown, rotating halfway through for even baking.
  7. Cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep everything cold to promote lift and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
