Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheet into 8 equal-sized strips.
Take one strip of puff pastry and wrap it around a cocktail sausage, leaving the ends exposed. Repeat with the remaining sausages and pastry strips.
Place the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush each pig in a blanket with beaten egg wash, which will give them a golden color when baked. Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

To perfect your pigs in a blanket, here are a few tips to keep in mind. First, make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed before using to ensure even and consistent baking. Additionally, you can add a touch of flavor by brushing the sausages with a thin layer of Dijon mustard or sprinkling them with grated cheese before wrapping in the pastry. Pigs in a blanket are incredibly versatile, so feel free to experiment with different types of sausages or even add a twist by including a slice of cheese in each wrap. Serve these delectable treats with ketchup, mustard, or a spicy dipping sauce. They also make a great accompaniment to a bowl of tomato soup or a side salad. Enjoy!
