Pigs in a Blanket
Ingredients
- 40 cocktail sausages or mini smoked sausages
- 2 8-count cans crescent roll dough
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard for dipping
- 1/2 cup ketchup for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it along the perforated lines into triangles.
- Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make two long, thin triangles.
- Place one cocktail sausage at the wide end of a dough triangle and roll it up toward the point.
- Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared sheet pan, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden brown all over.
- Let the pigs in a blanket cool on the pan for 2 minutes, since the sausages hold heat longer than the dough suggests.
- Serve warm with small bowls of mustard and ketchup for dipping.
Good to Know
Assemble these the night before, cover and refrigerate unbaked on the sheet pan, then bake straight from the fridge, adding 2 to 3 extra minutes.
