Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package of mini sausages (about 24 sausages)
- 1 package of crescent roll dough
For Egg Wash
- 1 egg
Optional
- Mustard or ketchup for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the pigs in a blanket evenly.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles, which will be used to wrap each mini sausage.
- Assemble Pigs in a Blanket: Place one mini sausage at the wide end of each crescent roll triangle and roll it up tightly towards the pointed end, fully encasing the sausage in dough.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, then place each rolled sausage evenly spaced apart on the sheet.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the dough-wrapped sausages to give them a beautiful golden and shiny finish once baked.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve the pigs in a blanket warm with mustard, ketchup, or your preferred dipping sauce for a delicious party snack.
Notes
- You can substitute mini sausages with cocktail sausages or hot dogs cut into smaller pieces if desired.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning on top after applying the egg wash.
- Make sure to not over-bake, as the dough can dry out. Golden brown color indicates they are ready.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking. Just bake straight from the fridge, adding a couple extra minutes if needed.
- Serve with a variety of dips such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or spicy mayo for variety.
