Description
Delicious mini sausage roll bites made with puff pastry and cocktail sausages, perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 20 cocktail sausages or mini hot dogs
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- All-purpose flour for dusting
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Mustard or ketchup for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the Pastry: Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Unroll the puff pastry sheets, and use a rolling pin to flatten slightly, making a square or rectangle.
-
Cut the Pastry: Cut the pastry sheets into strips, about 1.5 inches wide.
-
Assemble the Rolls: Place a sausage at the end of each pastry strip, then roll the pastry around the sausage, sealing the edge with a bit of the beaten egg. Repeat for all sausages.
-
Slice and Arrange: Cut each sausage roll into bite-sized pieces (about 1.5 inches long) and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
-
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
-
Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving with mustard or ketchup if desired.
Notes
-
Cheese Variation: For extra flavor, place a small slice of cheese on the pastry before rolling the sausage.
-
Herb Addition: Consider adding dried herbs like oregano or thyme to the egg wash for an aromatic touch.
-
Freezing Tip: These can be prepared and frozen before baking. Just bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cook time.
-
Pastry Choice: Ensure your puff pastry is cold but not frozen when working with it to avoid it becoming too sticky.
