  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Cook Time 35 minutes
  • Yield 36 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 17.3 oz puff pastry sheets thawed (2 sheets total, 1 package)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 bunch chives finely chopped (or 4 scallions)
  • 1 cup sharp Cheddar or Gruyere cheese shredded
  • 14 ounces cocktail sausages or "lil smokies"
  • 1 large egg beaten, plus 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • 3 tablespoons Everything bagel seasoning
  • Honey mustard or your choice of dipping sauce


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, unfold or unroll one puff pastry sheet. Brush the Dijon mustard evenly over the entire sheet, including the edges.
  3. Sprinkle the chives evenly over the mustard-covered puff pastry, then add the shredded cheese on top.
  4. Unfold or unroll the second puff pastry sheet and place it on top of the first sheet, aligning the edges.
  5. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the layered sheets into a roughly 12" × 12" square.
  6. Cut the pastry into 2" × 2" squares to yield approximately 36 squares.
  7. Dab the top-left corner of each square with egg wash, then place a cocktail sausage diagonally in the center of each square, with the egg-washed corner positioned to the left of the sausage.
  8. Fold the corner opposite the egg-washed corner over the sausage first, then fold over the egg-washed corner, pressing gently to seal.
  9. Transfer the pastry sausages to the lined baking sheets, spacing about 1½ inches apart. Brush them with egg wash and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
  10. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  11. Enjoy warm with honey mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For an extra crispy finish, ensure the pastries are spaced apart on the baking sheets.
Feel free to experiment with different dipping sauces to match your taste.
