Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 12 mini smoked sausages or cocktail franks patted dry
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
  • Whole-grain mustard for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 12 even strips.
  3. Wrap one strip around each sausage, overlapping slightly, and place seam side down on the baking sheet.
  4. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
  5. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  6. Serve warm with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the pastry before wrapping.
  • Everything bagel seasoning is a good topping in place of sesame seeds.
  • Plant-based sausages work, too.
