Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Heat a little oil in a grill pan. Cut each sausage twice lengthwise with a sharp knife, but be careful not to cut too deeply. Place the sausages lengthwise along the grill ridges to prevent them from becoming crooked. Fry until crispy all over. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Remove the sausages from the pan and spread with barbecue mustard. Carefully roll out the puff pastry and divide into four long rectangles. Beat the eggs. Place a mustard sausage in the center of each rectangle and brush the dough with egg along the edges. Wrap the sausages tightly in the puff pastry. Place on the baking paper and brush with egg again. Bake in the oven at 200°C on the middle rack for about 15 minutes until golden brown. Fry the bacon in the grill pan. Cook the dumplings in hot salted water and lightly toast them in the grill pan. Crumble the bacon over the dumplings.
