Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Prepare the Dough
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into strips, about 1 inch wide.

Take one sausage link and wrap it with the pastry strips, weaving them over and under. Repeat with the remaining sausages.
Egg Wash
Place the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Serving Suggestions
These Pigs In A Quilt are best served warm, straight from the oven. Pair them with a selection of dipping sauces to cater to everyone's taste. Classic options include honey mustard, ranch dressing, or even a spicy sriracha dip for those who enjoy a kick. Consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or veggie platter to balance out the meal.
For a fun twist, you can also serve them on a charcuterie board. Arrange the wrapped sausages alongside cheeses, olives, and crackers for an impressive appetizer spread. This not only makes for a visually appealing presentation but also adds variety to the snacking experience.
Storage and Reheating Tips
If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain their crispy texture, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This will ensure they regain their golden, flaky exterior without becoming soggy in the microwave.
For longer storage, you can freeze the unbaked wrapped sausages. Simply prepare them as directed, place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, there's no need to thaw; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time for delicious, freshly baked treats.
