Description
A fun, tasty, and easy snack that everyone loves! Perfect for parties, game nights, or just a simple treat. 🌭🥨 These savory little bites are made with cocktail sausages wrapped in crescent roll dough, then baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough (or puff pastry for a flakier option)
- 1 package cocktail sausages (or mini hot dogs, about 24 pieces)
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional but recommended for a golden finish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for added crunch and flavor)
- Mustard or ketchup (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or as per the instructions on your crescent roll dough package.
Prepare the Dough:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into triangles (as per the instructions on the dough package).
- If using puff pastry, roll it out and cut into small rectangles.
Wrap the Sausages:
- Place one cocktail sausage at the wider end of each triangle of dough.
- Roll it up tightly, sealing the edges so the dough doesn’t unravel while baking.
Egg Wash (Optional):
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of each pig in a blanket.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch and flavor, if desired.
Bake:
- Arrange the pigs in a blanket on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
- Serve warm with mustard, ketchup, or any dipping sauce of your choice. Enjoy! 🌭🥨
Notes
- For a fun twist, try using different shapes like spirals or knots instead of traditional rolls.
- If you don’t have parchment paper, lightly grease the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Always let the pigs in a blanket cool slightly before serving to avoid burns.
