Festive pigs in a blanket
With just a few select ingredients, we've turned normal pigs in a blanket into festive pigs in a blanket that are worthy of a place on your Christmas afternoon table.
Equipment
- baking paper
- butter knife
- pastry knife
Ingredients
- 1 packet puff pastry packet
- 1 packet cocktail sausages (wieners)
- 3-4 tbsp tomato pesto
- 1 egg (beaten)
- sesame seeds (optional) (
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°c and line two baking trays with banking paper.
- Roll your puff pastry out on a flat surface. Use your butter knife to spread your chosen pesto or sauce over the pastry.
- Place the cocktail sausages on top of the pastry, spaced out to allow enough pastry to wrap it around each sausage. Cut the pastry into rectangles large enough to wrap around each sausage, turn the sausage diagonally and roll the pastry around each sausage and press lightly to keep in place. Repeat until all of the sausages are rolled in pastry.
- Lay the pastry-wrapped sausages out on a tray, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Serve warm
Notes
If you are using frozen puff pastry, make sure it is fully thawed before using.
Instead of sesame seeds, you can use poppy seeds or a combination or just go without any seeds.
