Print Recipe

These crispy mummy pigs in a blanket are an easy, spooky, and savory Halloween party snack made with puff pastry, mini smoked sausages, and sharp cheddar cheese. They are quick to prepare, crowd-pleasing, and perfect for festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (17 oz) puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 12–14 mini smoked sausages (chicken, pork, or turkey)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, cut into strips
  • 1 tsp mustard powder or 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 12 small marinated mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved
  • 12 thin slices black olives (for pupils)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: Everything bagel seasoning for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to 1/8 inch thickness and cut into 1-inch wide strips.
  3. Make a small slit down the length of each mini sausage without cutting all the way through.
  4. Stuff a strip of sharp cheddar cheese into the slit of each sausage.
  5. Lay a stuffed sausage on one end of a pastry strip and roll it tightly, wrapping the pastry around the sausage to create a mummy look, leaving ends exposed.
  6. Place a piece of mozzarella on the top third of each mummy for the eye, and add a thin slice of black olive in the center for the pupil.
  7. Brush the tops of the mummies with melted butter.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until pastry is golden brown and flaky.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Keep the pastry cold to ensure flakiness. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to prevent steaming. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free puff pastry. Reheat leftovers in an air fryer to maintain crispiness.
