How to Make: Pigs in Blankets

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat pastry adds fiber while homemade dough can be more economical.

sausages

🥗Healthier: chicken sausages

💰Cheaper: hot dogs

Chicken sausages are lower in fat, while hot dogs can be a cost-effective option.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheddar

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option while cheddar is often less expensive.

egg

🥗Healthier: flax egg

💰Cheaper: water

Flax egg is a vegan alternative while water can be used for egg wash.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut the pastry into strips wide enough to wrap around the sausages.

Wrap each sausage in a strip of puff pastry, sealing the edges with a little water.

Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Beat 1 egg in a small bowl and brush it over the pastry for a golden finish.

Sprinkle sesame seeds and grated parmesan cheese on top, if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
