Baseball Game Day Pigs Blanket (Print version)

Mini sausages wrapped in puff pastry, served with a flavorful mustard dip for easy entertaining.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pigs in a Blanket

01 - 1 package (14 oz) cocktail sausages or mini hot dogs, about 32 pieces
02 - 1 sheet puff pastry (10 x 10 inches), thawed
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 1 tablespoon water
05 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds, optional

→ Mustard Dip

06 - 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
07 - 2 tablespoons honey
08 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
09 - 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
10 - Pinch of cayenne pepper, optional

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 32 equal strips approximately 1/2 inch wide.
02 - Pat sausages dry with paper towels. Wrap each sausage with a pastry strip, pressing the seam firmly to seal. Arrange wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water. Brush each pastry-wrapped sausage thoroughly with the egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
04 - Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
05 - While sausages bake, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
06 - Transfer warm pigs in a blanket to a serving platter. Serve immediately with mustard dip on the side.
