Game Day Pigs in a Blanket (Printable)

Halal sausages wrapped in golden puff pastry. A crowd-pleasing bite-sized appetizer ready in 33 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 12 halal mini beef or chicken sausages (cocktail size), or 6 regular halal sausages cut in half

02 - 1 sheet (approximately 8.8 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed

03 - 1 large egg, beaten

04 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds, optional

05 - 1/2 cup halal ketchup

06 - 1/2 cup halal mustard

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Cut the puff pastry sheet into 12 equal rectangles if using mini sausages, or 24 rectangles if using halved regular sausages.

03 - Place one sausage on the short end of each pastry piece and roll up tightly. Position seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

04 - Brush the tops with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.

05 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and puffed.

06 - Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard.

These little bites come together in just 15 minutes of prep, letting you enjoy the game instead of being stuck in the kitchen all day.
The halal sausages offer that perfect snap when you bite through the buttery, crisp pastry—creating a texture combination that keeps everyone reaching for more.

02 -

Space these at least an inch apart on the baking sheet—I once crowded them together and ended up with a giant connected pastry mess that was impossible to separate neatly.
If your puff pastry becomes too warm and sticky while working with it, pop it back in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to firm up before continuing.

03 -

Dock the pastry (prick it with a fork) before wrapping the sausages to prevent it from puffing too much and potentially unwrapping during baking.
For an extra crispy bottom, preheat your baking sheet in the oven before placing the assembled pigs in blankets on it—just be quick and careful when transferring them.
