Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon milk or 1 large egg for egg wash, optional
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning for topping, optional
  • BBQ sauce for dipping, optional
  • Ranch dressing for dipping, optional
  • Cheese sauce for dipping, optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat (optional)
  • Pizza cutter or knife
  • Mixing bowl (if using egg wash)
  • Pastry brush (if using egg wash)
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface.
  3. Gently separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles using a pizza cutter or knife if needed.
  4. Place a little smokie at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough up towards the pointed end, completely encasing the sausage. Pinch the edges to seal, if desired.
  5. Place the wrapped sausages, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  6. For a golden-brown color, brush the tops of the Pigs In A Blanket with milk or egg wash (optional).
  7. Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning (optional).
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Let the Pigs In A Blanket cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

For best results, keep the crescent roll dough cold. If the dough is sticky, lightly dust your work surface with flour. Leftover Pigs In A Blanket can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes or microwaved. Variations include adding a small piece of cheese or a thin slice of jalapeño to each crescent roll triangle before wrapping the sausage, or brushing the tops with honey mustard before baking.
