1 Ingredients

Qty	Item
12 oz 340 g	Mini cocktail sausages (Lil' Smokies)
8 oz 225 g	Refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 large 1 large	Egg
1 tbsp 15 ml	Water
2 tbsp 30 g	Everything bagel seasoning
1/4 cup 60 ml	Dijon mustard

2 Instructions

Step 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 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.

Step 3. Thoroughly pat the cocktail sausages dry with a paper towel; this ensures the dough adheres properly and doesn't become soggy.

Step 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.

Step 5. Repeat the process until all sausages are wrapped, spacing them about one inch apart on the tray.

Step 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.

Step 7. Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the top of each piece while the egg wash is still wet.

Step 8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and a deep golden brown.

Step 9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with a side of Dijon mustard or honey mustard for dipping.

·
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.
