Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent dough
- 10 ounces smoked cocktail sausages, 24 pieces
- 1 large egg, whisked
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven rack to the middle position and heat to 375ºF (190ºC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough onto a cutting board. Separate it into 8 triangles. Then cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 smaller triangles, making 24 pieces total.
- Roll the Sausages: Pat dry each smoked cocktail sausage with a paper towel. Working one at a time, place a sausage at the widest end of a dough triangle and roll it towards the pointed end. Repeat with all sausages and dough pieces.
- Brush and Season: Place the rolled pieces on the prepared baking sheet with the point side of the dough down, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Brush the surface and sides of each dough-wrapped sausage with the whisked egg. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top if desired.
- Bake: Bake the pigs in a blanket until the dough is golden brown, about 14 minutes. Once baked, immediately transfer them to a serving platter and serve with dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard.
Notes
- To substitute the sausages, cut large hot dogs or cooked sausage into 2 ½ inch pieces. Little smokies, cocktail wieners, or franks also work well.
- For additional toppings, try sprinkling sea salt, black pepper, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, granulated onion, or garlic on the dough before baking.
- Store leftover pigs in a blanket in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave on high in 15-second increments until hot, or warm in the oven at 325ºF (165ºC) until heated through.
