Cheeseburger Pigs in a Blanket Recipe
These Cheeseburger Pigs in a Blanket combine flaky crescent dough with cocktail sausages, melty cheese, and tangy pickles for an easy appetizer that works well for parties, game day, or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) tube of crescent rolls 8 count
- 3 slices American cheese
- 6-8 hamburger dill pickle chips
- 24 beef cocktail sausages 12 ounce packet
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the cocktail sausages dry with a paper towel and arrange the pickle chips on a paper towel to drain.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations. Cut each triangle into three smaller triangles using a pizza cutter or sharp knife by cutting lengthways from the tip.
- Cut each slice of cheese into 9 squares.
- Cut each pickle chip into 1/4 inch slices.
- Place a slice of cheese on the wide end of one of the dough triangles, add a slice of pickle on the cheese and top with a cocktail sausage. Roll to wrap everything in the dough. Repeat with the remaining sausages.
- Arrange the pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least one inch between each sausage.
- Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl to create an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg mixture over the dough.
- Sprinkle the pigs in a blanket with sesame seeds.
- Bake the pigs in a blanket for 14-17 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a 350°F or air fryer until heated through. I don't recommend reheating in the microwave as the dough will become soggy.
- I do not recommend making the pigs in a blanket in advance as the pickles may cause the dough to become soggy.
- Freezing these pigs in a blanket is not recommended as the pickle will become mushy when thawed. If you want to freeze the pigs, I recommend leaving the pickles out.
