Paradise Pizza Piggies in a Blanket

Paradise Pizza Piggies in a Blanket

Makes 8 servings (or 2 pieces) per serving

1 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets

2 packages Fantasma’s Finest Supreme Pizza Brats

Egg wash (one whole egg and a tablespoon of water combined)

Dried oregano

Kosher salt

Spaghetti Sauce of your choice (we like Lidia’s Tuscan Arabbiata Sauce), for serving

Pepperoncini, for garnish

Thaw puff pastry overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Precook the brats until done, about 20 minutes one side, turn and 10 on the other side. Remove brats from the oven and allow to cool.

Roll a single pastry sheet out on a floured board to iron out the creases and use a sharp knife to cut into 8 even squares. Alternatively, cut pastry vertically into 8 long strips.

Cut cooled brats in half. Roll each piece with a “blanket” (squares) or a swirl, making sure to pinch the ends of the dough together to close. Lay each pig in its blanket on a baking sheet. Crack egg in a small bowl, add a tablespoon of water and whisk with a fork to make a wash. Brush egg wash over the top of each pig then sprinkle with oregano and a touch of kosher salt. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove the pigs and repeat the process with remaining brats and dough. Serve hot with spaghetti sauce for dipping. Serve with a sliver of pepperoncini!
