Mini Bratwurst Roll Appetizer

This is a kicked up version of the mini hot dogs rolled up in a crescent. The hot dog is replaced with a small bratwurst and the crescent is replaced with puff pastry.

Ingredients:

• 3 cooked beef bratwurst
• 1 package puff pastry, defrosted
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbs brown mustard
• 1 tsp water

Directions:

• Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Quarter the bratwurst along the length, then cut each quarter in half.
• Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 16-by-18 inch rectangle. Whisk one egg then mix with the mustard. Brush on the surface of the puff pastry. Light cut the pastry into 3-by3 inch squares.
• Roll up bratwurst pieces in the pasty strips. Start on the corner and roll. Wrap the excess on each end back on the bratwurst.
• Set the bratwurst rolls on a baking sheet. Whisk together the other egg with water; brush each roll on all sides.
  • If making ahead of time, refrigerate at this point.
• Cook in the oven until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Dip in favorite BBQ sauce or mustard.
