Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Thaw one puff pastry sheet according to package directions, keep second sheet frozen to use another time. Spread pastry sheet with 1 tablespoon of the mustard, cut in half crosswise.

Cut sausage in half at the curve. Lay one piece of sausage across each piece of puff pastry. Roll pastry around sausage to completely enclose it, taking care to stretch where needed, and mold the edges together to seal.

In a small cup, beat egg with milk. Brush pastry with the egg mixture, place on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until browned.

To serve, gently slice each sausage at approximately 2-inch intervals, alternating the angle of the cuts so each piece has a flat end (on which it will stand) and an angled end (which will face upward). Garnish by placing about 1/8 teaspoon of the remaining mustard on each piece and topping with chopped chives. Serve hot.

This recipe yields 32 pieces.

Comments: How about those old-time favorite "pigs in a blanket" all dressed up for a party? These look a lot fancier, but theyre a cinch to make, especially if you use frozen pastry.

Do-Ahead Tip: Prepare wrapped sausages 1 day or several hours before party time and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Yield: 32 pieces
