Print Recipe

Air Fryer Mummy Pigs in a Blanket Delight is a fun, crispy, and festive snack featuring juicy mini sausages wrapped in flaky puff pastry strips to resemble cute mummies. Perfectly golden and crunchy thanks to the air fryer, this recipe is quick, easy, and ideal for Halloween parties or any playful gathering.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Mini sausages: 20 pieces (use your favorite brand)
  • Puff pastry sheets: 1 package (thawed)
  • Egg wash: 1 beaten egg
  • Black sesame seeds or edible markers: small amount for eyes

Optional Ingredients

  • Mustard or ketchup: as desired for dipping
  • Chili flakes: to taste (for spicy twist)
  • Finely chopped herbs (rosemary, thyme): 1-2 teaspoons (for herb-infused variation)
  • Small slices of cheese: 20 slices (for cheesy surprise variation)
  • Mini cinnamon rolls: 20 pieces (for sweet version variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package instructions until soft enough to roll out. Cut into thin strips about half an inch wide for wrapping the mini sausages.
  2. Wrap the Sausages: Take each mini sausage and wrap it carefully with the puff pastry strips, leaving small gaps for the mummy look. Tuck ends underneath to seal and prevent unraveling during cooking.
  3. Add the Eyes: Place tiny dots of black sesame seeds or use edible food markers to create the mummy’s eyes on each wrapped sausage, adding personality.
  4. Apply Egg Wash: Lightly brush each mummy with beaten egg using a pastry brush to ensure a golden color and crisp texture after air frying.
  5. Air Fry to Perfection: Arrange mummies in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through until pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket for even crisping.
  • Keep puff pastry cold until wrapping to maintain flakiness.
  • Cut pastry strips evenly for a neat mummy design.
  • Check air fryer early to avoid overbrowning as models may vary.
  • Add your favorite dipping sauces like mustard or ketchup to complement flavor.
  • Store uneaten mummies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze wrapped mummies on parchment tray individually, then store in bags for up to 1 month; cook from frozen adding extra time.
  • Reheat leftovers in air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes to restore crispness.
