Pigs in Blankets
Homemade pigs in blankets for your next party ~ refrigerated crescent dough wrapped around little smokies plus lots of amazing dip suggestions!
Servings: 24
Equipment
- parchment paper or foil
Ingredients
- 24 mini hot dogs or little smokies sausages
- 8 ounce tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 egg
optional topping
- poppy seeds, sea salt, sesame seeds, Everything but the Bagel seasoning, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking.
- Open the tube of crescent dough and unroll. Start with half of the sheet, and put the other half back in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic, to keep it chilled.
- Carefully separate the perforated triangles. Use a sharp knife to slice each triangle into 3 long thin triangles.
- Wrap up each mini hotdog in each of the triangles, starting at the wider base and rolling up to the tip. Set each one on the lined baking sheet.
- Whisk the egg well with a splash of water in a small cup. Brush the egg wash over the surface of each pig in blanket. Top with a sprinkle of poppy seeds or whatever topping you choose. Note: once prepped, bake your pigs in a blanket asap so the dough stays cold. If you aren't ready to bake, refrigerate the tray.
- Bake for about 14 minutes, or until golden and sizzling.
- While the first pan is baking prep the rest of the pigs in blankets and bake after the first tray comes out of the oven.
- Serve your pigs in a blanket hot, with dipping sauces* of your choice.
- Reheat leftover pigs in blankets for 30 seconds to one minute in the microwave.
