Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Slice the Capital smokies into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
• Roll out the puff pastry and cut into strips slightly smaller than the length of each smoky.
• Wrap each smokie with a strip of puff pastry, overlapping the edges slightly. Use a dab of egg wash to seal the edges.
• Place each wrapped smoky seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of the puff pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish. Optionally add toppings to differentiate flavors:
• Sprinkle sesame seeds on jalapeno cheddar smokies.
• Add shredded cheddar cheese on cheddar smokies.
• Leave Bavarian smokies plain or customize as desired.
• Bake the wrapped smokies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
• Once the pigs in blankets are baked, let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
• Brush smokies with the honey butter for added sweetness and shine.
• Dipping Sauce:
• Combine honey, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste.
• Optional Honey Butter:
• Mix honey and melted butter in a bowl. Set aside for brushing.
