How to Make Puff Pastry Mummy Pigs In A Blanket

Step 1: Prep Your Pastry Strips

Thaw that puff pastry like you mean it ❄️ (room temp, not microwave chaos). Dust your counter with flour and lay the sheet flat. Slice it into thin, uneven strips—we want rustic mummy vibes, not precision engineering. Seriously, wonky strips are *chef’s kiss* here. The irregular widths actually make them look more authentically bandaged, so stop second-guessing yourself and get wrapping.

Step 2: Wrap & Bake

Lay your sausage on a pastry strip and start wrapping diagonally around it, leaving a little gap near the top (that’s where the face goes 👻). Don’t go full burrito—leave some pastry peeking out for that authentic “falling apart” mummy energy. Plop them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them an inch apart. Bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes until golden and crispy. Your kitchen will smell like a bakery had a very happy accident.

Step 3: Add the Face

Once cooled just enough to handle (literally two minutes), pipe or dab tiny mustard dots for eyes 👀 The messier, the more personality—trust me on this one. You’re not running for best presentation; you’re running for best snack. If you want extra flair, add a tiny sesame seed in the center of each mustard dot for even more character.

Recipe Variations & Tips

• Make it spicy — Brush pastry with a light coat of sriracha mayo before wrapping for a kick
• Cheese-stuffed version — Wrap a tiny piece of cheddar or pepper jack around the sausage before adding the pastry
• Herb boost — Mix dried herbs (Italian seasoning or paprika) into the mustard for extra depth
• Perfectly crispy edges — Brush pastry strips lightly with egg wash before baking for extra golden shine and crispness

Nutrition Notes

Print

These puff pastry mummy pigs in a blanket are definitely an indulgence, and that’s totally fine—they’re meant to be enjoyed as a fun appetizer or snack, not a health food. The pastry brings crispy carbs and fat, while the sausage contributes protein and savory flavor. One mummy is roughly the size of two bites of happiness, so you can absolutely eat a few without completely derailing your day. If you’re looking to lighten things up, turkey or chicken sausages will trim a few calories without sacrificing the vibe.
