Description
Make easy Pigs in a Blanket in 30 minutes with crescent dough and mini beef sausages. They bake up golden, flaky, and are perfect for dipping.
Ingredients
- 2 8-ounce cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 48 mini beef cocktail sausages, patted dry
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, cut into 8 thin strips each (optional)
- 1/2 cup ketchup (for dipping)
- 1/2 cup yellow or Dijon mustard (for dipping)
- 1/3 cup honey mustard or barbecue sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly brush with some melted butter.
- Unroll the crescent dough. Separate the dough into 16 triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 long, thin triangles to yield 48 pieces total.
- If you use cheese, place one small cheddar strip at the wide end of each dough triangle.
- Place one mini sausage on the wide end of the dough. Roll toward the tip to fully wrap the sausage. Place the wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops lightly with the remaining melted butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything seasoning.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes. Wait until the dough puffs and turns deep golden brown. The bottoms must be crisp and dry.
- Cool the Pigs in a Blanket for 3 minutes on the sheet. Transfer them to a platter. Serve warm with your chosen dipping sauces.
Notes
- Pat the sausages very dry before wrapping so the dough adheres well and browns nicely.
- Cut the dough triangles evenly for a single wrap without bulky seams.
- Space the pieces at least 1 inch apart on the baking sheet for even browning.
- If your oven has hot spots, rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking.
- Keep one sheet of prepared rolls in the refrigerator while the first batch bakes. This stops the dough from softening too much.
- If using sausages that require cooking, bake until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
