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
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Thaw puff pastry sheets if frozen, and keep them cold until you roll. Work briskly to maintain flakiness.
- Unfold one sheet on a lightly floured board and roll to smooth seams. Cut into 3×4 inch rectangles.
- 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.
- Place seam-side down on the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle seeds if desired.
- Bake for 12–16 minutes until golden brown, rotating halfway through for even baking.
- Cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep everything cold to promote lift and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
