Ingredients
Scale
For the Pigs In A Blanket
- 36 pieces mini smoked sausages
- 1 pack refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
For the Dijon Dip
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking the pigs in a blanket.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough carefully and separate the dough into triangles as per package instructions.
- Cut Dough Strips: Cut each triangle into three long strips, ensuring they are thin enough to wrap snugly around the mini sausages.
- Wrap Sausages: Wrap one dough strip around each mini smoked sausage, placing the seam side down on the prepared baking sheets for better sealing.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the wrapped sausages with the beaten egg to help them brown nicely and hold the seeds in place.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the tops, followed by optional sesame and poppy seeds to add texture and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes or until the dough is puffed up and golden brown.
- Make the Dip: While the pigs in a blanket bake, whisk together Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey, and black pepper in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Remove the pigs in a blanket from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm alongside the prepared Dijon dip for guests to enjoy.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the dough before wrapping.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the Dijon dip mixture.
- You can prepare the pigs in a blanket ahead of time and refrigerate before baking; increase baking time by 2-3 minutes if baking from cold.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and taste, as the dough is crispest fresh out of the oven.
- Gluten-free crescent dough can be used as a substitute for dietary restrictions.
