Pigs in a Blanket

Pigs in a blanket wrap smoked cocktail sausages in buttery crescent dough for a simple baked appetizer. Cut the dough into narrow strips so each sausage gets a neat, golden-brown wrap.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough refrigerated
  • 24 smoked sausages cocktail-size, patted dry

Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough.
  4. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
  5. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow strips.
  6. Wrap one strip of dough around each sausage, stretching the dough gently as needed.
  7. Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  9. Let the pigs in a blanket rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat the sausages dry so the dough adheres well. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; freeze baked pigs in a blanket for up to 2 months. For a meat-free swap, use plant-based cocktail sausages.
