A quick and easy recipe for crispy pigs in a blanket paired with a simple homemade honey mustard dip, perfect for parties and game nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
  • Mini cocktail sausages or little smokies
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • Garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Poppy seeds or sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Unfold puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Slice each sheet into 1-inch wide strips about 4 inches long.
  3. Wrap each mini sausage tightly but gently in a strip of puff pastry, overlapping slightly. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
  4. Beat one large egg in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each wrapped sausage with the egg wash.
  5. Sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top of the egg-washed pastry if desired.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Start checking at 10 minutes to avoid burning.
  7. While baking, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the dip.
  8. Let the baked pigs in a blanket rest for 3–5 minutes on the sheet before transferring to a serving plate.
  9. Serve warm with the honey mustard dip.

Notes

Pat sausages dry before wrapping to avoid soggy pastry. Do not skip the egg wash for golden, crispy pastry. If dough feels sticky, chill for 10 minutes before wrapping. Adjust oven temperature if browning too fast. For extra crisp, brush edges with melted butter after baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. Avoid microwaving to keep pastry crisp.
