"Elevate your snack game with these gourmet Pigs In A Blanket, featuring buttery, golden-brown crescent dough and a crunch of everything bagel seasoning. These bite-sized treats are the ultimate crowd-pleaser for game days, holiday parties, or family gatherings."

Ingredients

Qty Item
12 oz Mini cocktail sausages (Lil' Smokies)
8 oz Refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 large Egg
1 tbsp Water
2 tbsp Everything bagel seasoning
1/4 cup Dijon mustard

How to Make Pigs In A Blanket

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into the pre-cut triangles. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut each triangle lengthwise into three smaller, thinner triangles.

3

Thoroughly pat the cocktail sausages dry with a paper towel; this ensures the dough adheres properly and doesn't become soggy.

4

Place one sausage at the wide end of a dough triangle and roll it up tightly toward the point. Place the wrapped sausage on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the seam-side is facing down.

5

Repeat the process until all sausages are wrapped, spacing them about one inch apart on the tray.

6

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the top of each dough-wrapped sausage with the wash.

7

Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the top of each piece while the egg wash is still wet.

8

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and a deep golden brown.

9

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with a side of Dijon mustard or honey mustard for dipping.


Tips for Best Results

  • ·

    Dry the sausages thoroughly with paper towels so the dough doesn't slip off during the baking process.

  • ·

    For a spicy kick, use jalapeño-infused cocktail sausages or add a tiny slice of pickled jalapeño inside the wrap.

  • ·

    Ensure the seam of the dough is on the bottom when placed on the baking sheet to prevent them from unrolling in the oven.

  • ·

    If you don't have everything bagel seasoning, a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and coarse salt works beautifully.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can wrap the sausages in dough up to 2 hours in advance and keep them refrigerated on a baking sheet until you are ready to brush with egg wash and bake.
Can I freeze unbaked Pigs In A Blanket?
Absolutely. Flash freeze them on a baking sheet for an hour, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 3-5 minutes to the total cooking time.
What is the best dipping sauce for these?
Honey mustard, spicy Dijon, or even a warm beer cheese dip are classic choices that pair perfectly with the savory dough and smoky sausage.
Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent dough?
Yes, puff pastry works excellently for a lighter, flakier texture. Just cut the puff pastry into small rectangles instead of triangles and roll them similarly.
