Pigs in a Blanket
My inspiration for this video was that I was watching Real Housewives of Orange County (unapologetically), and they were eating pigs in a blanket, so this was a craving that I just needed to scratch. I grilled some Johnsonville beef smoked sausage (I’m obsessed with these) for a little extra flavor, and then I wrapped them in frozen boxed puff pastry- so this whole recipe is crazy easy.
The trend right now seems to be to sprinkle some everything bagel seasoning on top and I was into it! Then I made a honey mustard mayo to dip it in. I feel like these are universally loved and they’re really easy to make, so save this and make it!
Pigs in a Blanket
Yield: 3-6
Ingredients
Pigs
- 1 large Johnsonville Italian Beef Smoked Sausage (or similar)
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Everything bagel seasoning
Honey Mustard
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat your grill (or use a grill pan) to medium-high.
- Grill the sausage until browned and slightly charred on the outside, about 5–7 minutes, turning once.
- Let cool slightly, then cut into 1 1/2- 2-inch pieces (depending on how large you want your pigs in a blanket).
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out one sheet of thawed puff pastry to smooth and even it slightly.
- Cut the pastry into rectangles wide enough to wrap around each sausage piece with a slight overlap.
- Place a sausage piece at one end of a rectangle.
- Brush a small strip of egg wash along the opposite edge of the rectangle to seal.
- Roll the sausage up tightly in the pastry and press the seam gently to seal.
- Place seam-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- For best results, refrigerate the wrapped pigs in a blanket for 10–15 minutes before baking to help the pastry hold its shape.
- Brush the tops with more egg wash for a golden finish.
- Sprinkle with Everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is deeply golden and crisp.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Honey Mustard
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth and fully combined.
- Taste and adjust to your liking — add more honey for sweetness or a touch more mustard for extra tang.
