These bite-sized wonders are so delicious that they might just steal the spotlight from the halftime show.

Ingredients:
- 1 package (16 ounces) of your favorite mini sausages
- 2 sheets of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Poppy seeds (for that extra pop of fun)
- A sprinkle of team spirit (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions:
Pre-game Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is your game day battlefield, so make sure it’s hot and ready!
- Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. If you’re feeling ambitious, use a rolling pin to make them a bit thinner – we’re aiming for the perfect piggy wrap.
- Now, it’s time to show off your quarterback skills. Cut each sheet of puff pastry into strips about 1 inch wide. These will be the magic blankets that cradle your mini sausages.
The Perfect Wrap:
4. Take each mini sausage and give it a cozy puff pastry blanket hug. Roll it up like you’re crafting a mini mummy – no need for a perfect spiral, we’re going for the casual, sporty look here.
- Place your little piggy creations on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each player on the field.
Team Spirit Marinade:
6. In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard and honey. This dynamic duo is your secret weapon. Brush each pig in a blanket with this tantalizing mixture, ensuring they’re coated in a layer of golden glory.
Ready, Set, Bake:
7. Time for the egg wash! Lightly brush each piggy with the beaten egg, giving them a glossy sheen that’ll have your guests doing a victory dance.
- Sprinkle some poppy seeds over the top – it’s like adding a sprinkle of confetti to celebrate your impending culinary victory.
- Slide your baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the pigs in a blanket bake for 12-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown and ready for their MVP moment.
Game Day Glory:
10. Remove your golden piggies from the oven, let them cool for a minute (if you can wait that long), and then arrange them on a platter. The moment of truth has arrived – it’s time to take a bite and savor the victory!
Serve with extra mustard or your favorite dipping sauce, and watch these GameDay Pigs in a Blanket disappear faster than a game-winning touchdown pass. Your taste buds and your guests will be cheering for an encore, making you the MVP of the kitchen!
