Equipment

  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 large baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 16 cocktail sausages
  • 16 streaky bacon
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180° C (360° F).
  • Line a large baking sheet with baking paper, and set it aside.
  • Combine the honey and the mustard in a small bowl and mix until nicely combined, set them aside.
  • Place a piece of streaky bacon on a cutting board, wrap it around a piece of cocktail sausage, and then place it seam-side down on the lined baking tray.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining bacon and sausages.
  • Place the tray in the preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes, remove from the oven and brush the honey mustard sauce all over the bacon-wrapped sausages.
  • Return the tray to the oven and cook for another 5 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the sausages are cooked through.

Notes

  • Don't forget to cover your baking sheet with silicon paper before placing the sausages or you might end up with a big sticky mess!
  • Make sure the oven is heated to 180° C (360° F) before placing the tray with bacon-wrapped sausages.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, keep some distance between the sausages to provide some nice caramelization. Use 2 trays if necessary!
  • You can store the leftover Homemade Mini Pigs in a Blanket refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
  • If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months!
