Honey Mustard Sausage Bites

One of the things that I find about the summer months is that some days you just don't feel like having 'proper' meals, especially on warm days when the hammock is calling to me - those are the days that we more often than not end up snacking most of the day or having something like these little mouthfuls on hand to nibble on with a cold can of beer :o)

Honey Mustard Sausage Bites
makes 20

1/2 pack puff pastry (1 square)
1/4 cup honey mustard sauce
1 cup grated cheese (I used a Tex Mex mix)
4 hot dogs (I had these all beef wieners in the fridge)

• preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• on a floured surface roll out the puff pastry to a sheet approximately 12" x 10"
• brush the pastry all over with the honey mustard sauce.
• sprinkle the cheese evenly over the surface and using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into quarters.
• roll each hot dog tightly in a quarter of the pastry.
• cut each 'rolled' sausage into five even pieces and place, seam side down, on a baking sheet.
• brush lightly with either egg wash or milk and bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.
