- For the Pigs in a Blanket
- 1 package (14 oz/400 g) cocktail sausages or mini hot dogs (about 32 pieces)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (about 10 x 10 in/25 x 25 cm), thawed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
- For the Mustard Dip
- 1/4 cup (60 g) Dijon mustard

- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- 8. Serve the pigs in a blanket warm with the mustard dip on the side.
