Mini Pigs in Blankets are delicious bite-sized snacks made by wrapping cocktail sausages in flaky croissant dough, brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with poppy seeds, then baked until golden brown. Perfect for parties or a tasty appetizer.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated can of croissant dough (12 croissants)
  • 24 cocktail sausages (pre-cooked)
  • 1-2 eggs, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), or the temperature specified on the croissant dough package to ensure proper baking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Open the refrigerated can of croissant dough and carefully unroll it to expose 12 triangular pieces. Cut each triangle into 2 smaller triangles along the perforated lines, yielding 24 smaller dough pieces.
  3. Wrap Sausages: Place a cocktail sausage at the wide end of each small dough triangle. Roll the dough around the sausage snugly, making sure it is fully wrapped.
  4. Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Using a pastry brush or fingers, lightly brush each wrapped sausage with the egg wash to achieve a golden-brown finish during baking.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle poppy seeds evenly on top of the egg-washed dough for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each to allow even cooking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the sausages are pre-cooked before wrapping to avoid undercooked centers.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Egg wash helps the dough achieve a beautiful golden color and a shiny finish.
  • Feel free to substitute poppy seeds with sesame seeds or omit if preferred.
  • These can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen before baking for convenience.
