Don't have much time until the kids or hubby gets home from school and work to whip up a quick snack? Or you're trying to figure out a bite sized finger food dish to serve this weekend when the girls come over? Pigs in Blankets is perfect! It's cheap, simple and delish.
Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Total time: 25 Minutes
This recipe makes 8.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Sheets of Puff Pastry; cut into squares of 4 on each sheet.
- Grated cheese
- 8 Cocktail Sausages
- 1 Whisked Egg
DIRECTIONS
Step One - Preheat oven at 250.
On one of the quarter squares of the pastry sheets place a Cocktail Sausage in the center with grated cheese on both sides.
Step Two - Now to fold the blankets, get the left corner of the pastry square and fold over, make sure you are covering the filling.
Step Three - Get the right side corner of the pastry and fold over to the left. Make sure you press the pastry down firmly - the last thing you want is everything opening up.
Step Four - Now lets seal up this piggy, get the bottom corner and fold up, press the pastry down firmly in the center to make sure all corners are secured.
Step Five - Grab your whisked egg and lightly brush a layer over the pigs in blankets, this makes sure the pastry doesn't break and crumble while cooking in the oven and makes it nice and shiny :)
Turn the temperature of the oven on medium heat and let the piggies cook for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
Step Six - NOM-NOM! Your piggies are now ready to be devoured! Serve with sauces of your choice, I chose tomato sauce today :)
Don't be afraid to have fun and experiment with your piggies, some people add bacon to their fillings or try and sneak a few vegies in for the kids. Good luck and I hope you enjoy this little snack!
