Pigs in a Blanket Recipe
Description
This Pigs in a Blanket Recipe features two packages of crescent rolls cut into thirds to wrap around a package of Little Smokies sausages. The dough encases each smokie tightly, baking at 350°F until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed. Optional poppy seeds sprinkled on top add a subtle crunch and visual interest. The method focuses on rolling the dough neatly and placing the wrapped pieces seam-side down for optimal baking.
The finished snacks combine the soft, flaky dough of the crescent rolls with the juicy, smoky flavor of the small sausages inside. They are served warm, making them easy party finger foods or potluck contributions.
Storage advice notes that leftovers can be refrigerated for up to four days, maintaining their quality if covered. Alternative doughs like biscuit dough or puff pastry can be used, and hot dogs cut into pieces can substitute for Little Smokies if unavailable. Making your own crescent roll dough is also an option for home bakers wanting full control.
Ingredients
- 2 packages crescent rolls (see note 1)
- 1 (16 ounce) package little smokies (see note 2)
- poppy seeds for garnish, optional (see note 3)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Unwrap one tube of crescent rolls and separate into triangles. Working with one triangle at a time, cut it into 3 sections with a sharp knife.
- Roll up each section around a Little Smokie and place the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.
- Repeat with remaining crescent rolls and Little Smokies. Bake until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- Refrigerated crescent rolls are pre-scored, making trimming and rolling around sausages easy; biscuit dough or puff pastry can also be used.
- Little Smokies provide the ideal size and flavor, though cut hot dogs work as a substitution.
- Poppy seeds on top add a crunchy texture but are optional.
- This recipe yields about 40 pieces, perfect for sharing at parties or tailgates.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to retain freshness.
