Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 12 vegan sausages
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 tbsp mustard
- Flour for dusting
- Plant-based milk for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour to prevent the puff pastry from sticking.
- Carefully unroll the puff pastry sheet and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into 12 equal rectangular strips.
- Spread a thin layer of mustard along the center of each pastry strip, ensuring even coverage.
- Place a vegan sausage at one end of each pastry strip, ensuring it's positioned centrally.
- Gently roll the pastry around each sausage, slightly overlapping the edges and pressing to seal.
- Arrange the rolled sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Brush each pastry-wrapped sausage with plant-based milk to help achieve a golden, glossy finish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the pastry to set.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
- Thaw the Puff Pastry: Make sure to thaw your puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for about 30 minutes before you begin. This will make it easier to roll and cut.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to customize your Vegan Pigs in Blankets by adding spices or herbs to the mustard or trying different types of vegan sausages for varied flavors.
- Cut Even Strips: Use a ruler or a pizza cutter for even strips of puff pastry, ensuring that each sausage is wrapped uniformly for consistent cooking.
- Don’t Rush the Baking: Keep an eye on the pastries as they bake. Every oven is different, so check for that perfect golden-brown color to ensure they’re cooked to perfection.
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: Enhance the experience by serving these tasty treats with a variety of dipping sauces, such as vegan ranch, barbecue sauce, or a spicy mustard.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare these in advance and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Just brush them with plant-based milk right before popping them in the oven for a fresh-out-of-the-oven taste!
