Pigs in a Blanket Recipe
These Crescent Roll Pigs in a Blanket are a go-to appetizer made with just four simple ingredients. Cocktail sausages are wrapped in buttery crescent dough and baked until golden brown. They’re easy to prep, cook quickly, and are always one of the first snacks to disappear at any party.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) can of crescent roll dough 8-count package
- 24 cocktail sausages patted dry
- 1 egg
- ½ tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Place a cocktail sausage on the wide end of one of the dough triangles and roll to wrap it in 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.
- 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 fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer until warmed through. The microwave works in a pinch, but the dough will be soft instead of crisp.
- You can assemble the pigs in a blanket up to 24 hours ahead. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Wait to brush on the egg wash until right before baking.
- To freeze, arrange the unbaked pigs in a blanket on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until firm. Once solid, transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container. Bake straight from frozen, just add a few extra minutes to the bake time.
