This Air Fryer Mummy Pigs in a Blanket Delight is a crispy, spooky, and easy-to-make Halloween snack that combines golden flaky puff pastry wrapped around savory mini sausages with a fun mummy twist. Perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a golden finish, this festive and flavorful bite-sized treat is great for parties, family gatherings, or a fun snack to get everyone into the Halloween spirit.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Mini sausages – quantity as needed (typically 12-16 pieces)
  • Puff pastry sheets – 1 sheet (thawed)
  • Egg wash – 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water

For Decoration

  • Mustard or ketchup – for eyes, as needed

Optional Spices and Additions

  • Garlic powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)
  • Paprika – 1/2 tsp (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme) – 1 tsp, finely chopped (optional)
  • Cheese slices – small slices for stuffing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pastry: Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package instructions and roll them out slightly on a floured surface. Slice the pastry into thin strips approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide to create “bandages” for the mummies.
  2. Wrap the Sausages: Take each mini sausage and carefully wrap the thin pastry strips around them, leaving a small gap near one end for the “face.” Overlap the strips creatively to mimic mummy wrappings without covering the entire sausage.
  3. Apply Egg Wash: Brush a light coating of the beaten egg wash over each wrapped sausage to promote a shiny, golden brown finish once air fried.
  4. Air Fry the Mummies: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the wrapped sausages in a single layer in the basket without touching. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden.
  5. Add Eyes: Once slightly cooled, use mustard or ketchup to dot two small “eyes” on the exposed face area of each mummy for a spooky and fun finishing touch.

Notes

  • Cut pastry strips thin enough to crisp nicely but thick enough to avoid tearing during wrapping.
  • Avoid overlapping mummies in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Air fryer cooking times vary; check around 8 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Use milk instead of egg wash for a softer, less shiny finish if preferred.
  • For alternative eyes, try tiny edible eyes or black sesame seeds.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze uncooked wrapped mummies on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe bag; freeze up to 1 month.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to regain crispiness.
