Pigs in a Blanket
Who can resist pigs in a blanket? It’s a classic appetizer for a reason. The classic version is essentially a savory cocktail sausage or a small hot dog, snugly wrapped in a blanket of light and fluffy dough, and then baked to golden perfection.
Pigs in a Blanket is a tasty appetizer that combines crescent roll dough and cocktail-sized smoked sausages with a delicious Sriracha mayo dip to add a spicy kick to this crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Helpful Tips
- Choose the Right Dough: For the best texture and flavor, use refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry. Crescent rolls offer a soft, flaky texture, while puff pastry provides a buttery, crispy finish. Make sure to roll it out slightly if needed to ensure it wraps snugly around the sausages.
- Add Flavorful Toppings: Before baking, brush the wrapped sausages with an egg wash (a mixture of beaten egg and water) for a shiny, golden finish. You can also sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning on top for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
