Pigs in a Blanket Recipe: Easy Crispy Party Appetizer with Mustard Dip

  • Author: neuriox
  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: 24 pieces 1x

Description

These pigs in a blanket feature juicy mini sausages wrapped in flaky puff pastry, baked until golden and served with a tangy mustard dip. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or cozy gatherings, this crowd-pleasing appetizer comes together in under 30 minutes and is endlessly adaptable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (about 8 oz, thawed if frozen)
  • 24 mini cocktail sausages (about 12 oz, smoked or regular)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp coarse salt (optional)
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry sheet and gently roll out to a rectangle about 12×9 inches.
  3. Cut pastry into 24 strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
  4. Wrap each mini sausage with a strip of puff pastry, spiraling around. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
  5. Whisk together egg and water. Brush each wrapped sausage with egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and coarse salt if desired.
  6. Bake for 16–18 minutes, rotating pan halfway, until pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.
  7. While baking, mix Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl for the dip.
  8. Let pigs in a blanket cool on the tray for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm with mustard dip.

Notes

Keep pastry cold for best results. Chill wrapped pigs in a blanket before baking for extra flakiness. For gluten-free, use GF puff pastry and sausages. Vegetarian sausages work well. Crescent roll dough can be substituted for puff pastry. Mustard dip can be made ahead and flavors improve overnight.
