Like these Easy Cocktail Meatballs (One Pot), today's recipe is super fun to make for parties. They are also cute and mini sized which make them great for snacks and even kids school lunches. You can get as creative as you like with fillings or keep it as simple as you like. Same applies for toppings. Keep it plain or go over the top. These are a few more easy smokies appetizer ideas that I think you will enjoy: Crockpot Little Smokies (Cocktail Sausages) and One Pot Grape Jelly Little Smokies.

Key ingredients
- Little smokies- Simple yet satisfying and already precooked for quickness.
- Puff pastry dough- Makes this recipe super fast and easy.
- Egg- Helps to keep the dough from unwrapping.
- Everything bagel seasoning- Brings an aesthetic appeal as well as great flavor.
Variations
- Use different seasoning- Such as Italian seasoning, Ranch seasoning, or even some chili powder.
- Top off- With some sesame seeds, shredded parmesan cheese, or even shredded cheddar cheese.
- Dip them- In ketchup, honey mustard, Homemade Veggie Dip, or this Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip.
- Use a different dough- Such as biscuit dough or Phyllo dough to bring a different texture.
- Jalapeno popper flavor- Add a slice of jalapeno and some cream cheese when wrapping the sausage in the dough for a spicy kick like with my Jalepeno Popper Chicken (One Pot).
- Use a spread- Like some onion jam or caramelized onion on top of the mini sausages before wrapping and baking.
How to make easy one pan pigs in a blanket recipe from scratch?
- Wrap dough- Around mini sausages.
- Brush egg white- On top and sprinkle seasoning.
- Bake- And you are done.
Tips and techniques
- To prevent sticking- Line pan with parchment paper.
- To make these with cheese- Add some mozzarella or cheddar cheese inside before rolling. If you enjoy that, check out these Garlic Cheese Bombs (One Pan).
- Seasoning is optional- I coat these appetizers in everything bagel seasoning blend (easily found on at Trader Joe's or Amazon) but that's optional and can easily be omitted.
- Instead of baking- You can deep fry them until golden brown like I do with these delicious Crispy Fried Cheese Curds (One Pan). You can also use an air fryer.
- For added crisp, color, and flavor- Brush the tops with garlic butter prior to baking.
- Serve fresh- Because this brings in the best crunch and overall texture.
Recipe FAQs
I have used the Pillsbury crescent rolls and they work great. I have also used Pepperidge Farm puff pastry without any issues.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until they become golden brown.
Yes, but they will have an overall different taste as well as appearance.
Storage
- Refrigerate- These can be store in a sealed container for up to 24 hours.
- Freeze- I don't recommend this, because the texture just isn't the same when thawed and reheated.
- Make ahead- Prepare them the day of and place on a baking tray in the fridge. However, don't bake until 15 minutes before the guests arrive.
- Reheat- You can warm them in the oven or air fryer but may not be as crispy as when fresh out of the oven.

Can you freeze these before baking? And can you cook them at the same temperature straight out of the freezer and for how long?
Abeer Rizvi says
I haven't frozen them before but I have prepped them a day in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to bake and serve the next day.
jean says
do you cook the franks before adding the puff pastry?
Abeer Rizvi says
No, you don't have to cook them beforehand since they are already pre-cooked.
