Pigs In a Puff Pastry Blanket
Pigs In a Puff Pastry Blanket wraps all-beef kosher hot dogs or chicken sausages in flaky puff pastry brushed with beaten egg and flavored with smoky or grainy mustard plus fresh herbs. The resulting pastry rolls bake to a crisp golden brown exterior enclosing juicy, savory sausages enhanced by the subtle herb and mustard notes. These hand-held pastries are great warm or at room temperature and can be served as a snack or appetizer with additional mustard for dipping.

Ingredients
- 1 pound puff pastry I use Pepperidge Farms, frozen, package
- flour , for dusting
- 1 egg , beaten
- 8 all-beef kosher hot dogs cut in half lengthwise, uncooked jumbo or chicken sausage
- 2 tablespoons smoky mustard or grainy mustard
- herbs such as thyme, marjoram, or chopped rosemary, small handful, fresh
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Defrost puff pastry according to package instructions. Roll the pastry out on a floured counter to a rectangle of about 19” x 12”. Cut the large rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut both smaller rectangles into eight equal sections down to 16 rectangles total.
- Spread a small amount of mustard on top ⅓ of each pastry rectangle. Lay a half of a hot dog or sausage on the mustard and sprinkle with herb of choice. Brush the other end of the rectangle with a little of the beaten egg and roll the sausage up in the pastry, sealing the ends. Put the sausage rolls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for the pastry to chill.
- Remove from the refrigerator and prick the tops with a fork, brush with the rest of the beaten egg, sprinkle with kosher salt and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry has turned a golden brown and looks crisp. Remove from the oven and serve warm or at room temperature with more mustard.

Notes
- Chill the wrapped sausages for 15-20 minutes before baking to help the pastry hold its shape and become flakier.
- Use fresh herbs like thyme, marjoram, or rosemary for a brighter herbal flavor.
- Serve the finished pastries warm or room temperature with extra mustard on the side.
- Brush the pastry fully with beaten egg to achieve a golden, crisp crust after baking.
