Pigs in a Blanket are a classic and easy-to-make appetizer featuring mini hot dogs wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough, baked to golden perfection. Perfect for parties, snacks, or game day, these bite-sized treats are served warm with mustard or ketchup for dipping.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 24 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Mustard or ketchup, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready to bake the pigs in a blanket evenly.
  2. Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into individual triangles.
  3. Cut triangles: Cut each crescent roll triangle into smaller triangles, approximately one-third of the original size, to create the perfect wrap for mini hot dogs.
  4. Wrap sausages: Place one mini hot dog at the wide end of each small triangle and roll it up snugly toward the pointed end, encasing the sausage in dough.
  5. Arrange on baking sheet: Lay the wrapped sausages seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  6. Apply egg wash: Brush the tops of the dough wraps with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish when baked.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with mustard or ketchup on the side for dipping, enhancing the savory flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute mini hot dogs with cocktail sausages for variation.
  • Brush with egg wash carefully to avoid dough tearing.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture, but they can be reheated in the oven.
  • Try adding shredded cheese inside the dough before wrapping for extra flavor.
