Description

Air Fryer Mummy Pigs in a Blanket Delight are a fun and festive snack perfect for Halloween or any party. Mini sausages are wrapped in thin strips of flaky puff pastry to resemble mummies, finished with shiny egg wash and spooky eyes made from sesame seeds or peppercorns, then air fried to a golden, crispy perfection. This quick and easy recipe delivers a juicy, flavorful bite with a playful presentation that delights kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Puff Pastry Sheets – enough to cut into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide
  • Mini Sausages or Cocktail Wieners – quantity as desired for serving
  • Egg Wash – 1 beaten egg
  • Black Sesame Seeds or Peppercorns – 2 per mummy for eyes
  • Mustard or Ketchup – optional, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Thaw puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Gently roll out on a floured surface and cut into thin strips about half an inch wide to mimic mummy bandages.
  2. Wrap the Sausages: Take each mini sausage and carefully wrap strips of puff pastry around it, leaving gaps to create the mummy look. Leave a small space near one end to add the eyes later. Ensure the ends are tucked in securely.
  3. Apply the Egg Wash: Brush each wrapped sausage with beaten egg to promote a golden-brown finish and help the pastry strips stick together.
  4. Add the Eyes: Place two black sesame seeds or peppercorns in the gaps near the top of each mummy to form eyes. Press gently to secure.
  5. Air Fry to Perfection: Arrange the mummies in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Use good-quality puff pastry for the best flaky texture.
  • Place mummies in a single layer without overlapping for even cooking.
  • Check at 8 minutes as air fryer models vary and to prevent burning.
  • Cut dough strips uniformly for a neat appearance and even cooking.
  • Wrap in advance and refrigerate before air frying to save time.
