Print Recipe

Quick and easy bite-sized snacks featuring mini sausages wrapped in flaky puff pastry, perfect for parties and last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets (usually 2 sheets), thawed but still cold
  • About 20 mini sausages (cocktail-sized), smoked or plain
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Lightly roll out thawed puff pastry sheets on a floured surface if needed. Cut each sheet into rectangles about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long.
  3. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each pastry rectangle.
  4. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Roll each mini sausage in the seasoning mix for an even coating.
  5. Place one sausage at the edge of each pastry rectangle. Roll the pastry tightly around the sausage like a diploma scroll, sealing the edge with a dab of water if needed.
  6. Slice each roll into 2-inch bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 pieces per roll). Arrange them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush each bite with beaten egg to achieve a golden, shiny finish.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown. Check around 12 minutes to avoid over-browning.
  9. Let the sausage bites cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold to handle easily and ensure flakiness. Roll pastry tightly around sausages to prevent unraveling. Use egg wash for a golden crust. Avoid overbaking to prevent burning. Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. Freeze unbaked bites on a tray, then store in freezer bags; bake from frozen adding 5 extra minutes.
