Pizza Pigs in a Blanket
Pizza Pigs in a Blanket take a classic snack and give it a fun, cheesy twist. Mini smoked sausages are wrapped in pizza dough with melty mozzarella, pepperoni, and a little pizza sauce for extra flavor. Baked until golden and served with more sauce for dipping, they’re a quick and easy appetizer everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 1 (11 ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce plus more for dipping
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese cut into 6 pieces each
- 24 slices pepperoni
- 24 mini smoked sausages little smokies
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the pizza dough onto a large cutting board or clean countertop, making sure it lays flat.
- Use a pizza cutter to divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Cut in half vertically, then make two more vertical cuts on either side to create six strips. Make three horizontal cuts across the dough to form 24 rectangles.
- Spread a small amount of pizza sauce onto each piece of dough.
- Layer a slice of mozzarella, a pepperoni slice, and a mini smoked sausage on top of each piece.
- Roll the dough around the fillings, pinching the edges to seal, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg, then sprinkle with garlic powder and dried oregano.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly, then serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a 350 degree F oven for 8-10 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as the dough can become soggy.
- The pigs in a blanket can be frozen for up to three months. Flash freeze them on a tray until solid before transferring to an airtight container or freezer bag for storage. Allow the cookies to thaw at room temperature before enjoying them.
