FANCY SCHMANCY PIGS IN A BLANKET
They FANCY SCHMANCY PIGS IN A BLANKET elevate the typical pigs in a blanket with the quality of the sausage, crunchy wrapper, and seasoning. I swear by the Everything Bagel Seasoning as it adds so much flavor compared to just salting them.
Since you are buying a few packages of sausages this doesn’t shake out to be an inexpense recipe. However, just keep in mind that you are getting 72!! pieces. Since people are only going to enjoy a few of these each you will be able to serve a huge crowd. Or hang on to to enjoy throughout the season for yourself and family.
The best thing about these babies is that you can prepare them well in advance to when you want to enjoy them as they store great when frozen. They are great for snacking on while you sit back and relax while you watch your favorite football team pound the snot out of their opponent. 😛
Makes 72 pieces
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour, for surface
- 2 sheets puff pastry, preferably all-butter
- 18 fully cooked sausages (5 inches long, straight is preferred)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Everything bagel seasoning or poppy seeds and maldon sea salt
- Spicy Brown mustard, for serving
Process
On a lightly floured work surface, gently roll each pastry sheet out into a 12-inch square, then cut into nine 4-inch sized squares.Mix the egg and 2 tablespoons of water together.
Lightly brush each square with the egg wash. Place the sausage along the edge of the puff pastry square. Roll up the sausage and gently press the exposed edge to seal it.
Place the sealed edge on the underside of the roll. Brush the tops with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the seasoning. Cut each sausage into 4 pieces.
Freeze the pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet until firm. (When they are frozen place batches into zip-top bags or air tight containers and freeze for up to 3 months.)
Bake at 400 degrees. Place the frozen pigs in a blanket 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve warm with mustard.
