Ingredients
- Flour for dusting
- 2sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator
- ½cup Dijon mustard
- 1egg
- Poppy seeds or sesame seeds, for sprinkling optional
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
- Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of pastry into a rectangle, about 12 by 16 inches. Turn so that a short side is facing you. Spread half of the mustard over the lower half of the rectangle, leaving a ⅛-inch margin around the edges. Fold the top half over the lower half. Using the tip of a sharp knife and a straight edge (such as a clean ruler), cut it into 1-inch-wide strips from top to bottom. Transfer to prepared baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between batons, and refrigerate until ready to bake. Repeat with remaining pastry and mustard.
- Step 3
Beat the egg with a splash of cold water, and brush mixture lightly onto batons. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds, if using. Bake about 15 minutes, rotating pans after 8 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Let rest a few minutes before serving.

Totally delish, but yes, a little less mustard ... and I used everything but the bagel seasoning and soooooo good!
I halved this recipe, as I had one leftover sheet of puff pastry. So good! I put on my fancy pants and used Grey Poupon and I also topped it with garlic powder, onion powder, poppy seed, sesame seed, and kosher salt (trying to approximate an everything bagel). A really great, fun recipe!
Use less mustard. Also add salt. Otherwise wonderful snack, especially for children since they're easy to make and you can watch them rise in the oven.
I am going to have to say that I would like a bit MORE mustard taste, perhaps with a more grainy mustard or mustard seed on top instead of sesame seeds. So simple and quick to make.
These are good, and I'd make them again next time I have spare puff pastry, but they're just exactly equivalent to the sum of their parts. This isn't one of those recipes where the results of a simple recipe blow you away. I agree they could use salt.
