Pigs in a Blanket

Pigs in a Blanket

Classic pigs in a blanket are bite-sized sausages wrapped in buttery dough and baked until golden and flaky. They’re quick, crowd-pleasing, and perfect for parties, game days, or easy snacks.

  • Total Time: 22–25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 (about 24 pieces) 1x

Ingredients

1 (8-oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 (12-14 oz) package cocktail sausages or mini hot dogs

1 egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)

Everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Unroll crescent dough and cut each triangle into 3 smaller strips.

Wrap one strip of dough around each sausage, slightly overlapping.

Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Brush with egg wash if using and sprinkle with seasoning.

Bake 12–15 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Cooking Tips

  • Chill the wrapped sausages for 5 minutes before baking for cleaner seams.

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—leave space so the dough bakes evenly.

  • For extra crispness, bake on the middle rack and rotate the pan halfway.

Variations

 

  • Cheesy: Add a small strip of cheddar or pepper jack before wrapping.

  • Everything Bagel: Sprinkle with everything seasoning instead of sesame seeds.

  • Spicy: Use spicy sausages or brush with honey mustard before baking.

  • Air Fryer: Cook at 350°F for 7–9 minutes, shaking once.

  • Sweet & Savory: Use puff pastry and brush with honey butter after baking.
