Scale
Gather these ingredients for your Pigs in a Blanket:
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 24 mini beef sausages (or cocktail wieners)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Dipping sauces: ketchup, mustard, honey mustard, or ranch
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforations.
- Cut Dough Strips: Cut each triangle into three smaller triangles for the perfect size to wrap the sausages.
Wrap the Sausages:
- Wrap the Mini Sausages: Place a mini sausage on the wide end of each dough strip and roll it up towards the point. Ensure the dough fully covers the sausage but doesn’t overlap too thickly.
Add Egg Wash:
- Prepare Egg Wash: Whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Lightly brush each wrapped sausage with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Season and Bake:
- Sprinkle Seasoning: Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, or smoked paprika over the top.
- Bake: Arrange the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Cool and Serve:
- Cool Slightly: Let the pigs in a blanket cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or ranch for dipping.
