Description
Pigs in a Blanket are a classic finger food made with mini sausages wrapped in buttery, golden dough. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside, they’re quick to make, easy to customize, and perfect for breakfast, parties, or snacks.
Ingredients
- 24 mini sausages or cocktail franks
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough or 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles, or cut puff pastry into small strips.
- Place a sausage at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up toward the tip. Repeat for all sausages.
- Brush each wrapped sausage with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
- Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with ketchup, mustard, or cheese sauce.
Notes
- Use puff pastry for a flakier, more indulgent version.
- Add a slice of cheese before rolling for extra flavor.
- Can be made ahead — refrigerate assembled rolls up to 24 hours before baking.
- Freeze baked or unbaked for up to 2 months.
- Keep warm at parties by storing in a slow cooker or covered dish.
