Instructions
📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles (or cut puff pastry into small strips). Lightly brush each piece with Dijon mustard if using, then sprinkle a bit of chopped herbs over the dough.
Step 3: Wrap the Sausages
Place one mini sausage at the wide end of each triangle or strip. Roll tightly toward the tip to fully enclose the sausage. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Add Egg Wash
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush each wrapped sausage lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
Step 6: Serve
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard.
