Print Recipe

Crescent Roll Pigs in a Blanket are quick and easy bite-sized snacks made by wrapping savory mini sausages in buttery, flaky crescent roll dough. Perfect for parties, game days, or family snacks, they bake to golden perfection with a crispy outside and tender inside. This versatile recipe can be customized with different sausages, cheeses, or dips to suit any taste.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Mini sausages (cocktail sausages or little smokies) – about 24 pieces
  • Refrigerated crescent roll dough – 1 can (usually 8 oz)

Optional Ingredients

  • Butter, melted – 1-2 tablespoons (for brushing)
  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water) – for brushing
  • Sesame seeds or poppy seeds – sprinkle as desired
  • Dipping sauces – mustard, ketchup, cheese sauce, or favorites

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a clean surface and gently press the perforations together so you have one large sheet to cut.
  2. Cut the Dough: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into small triangles sized to wrap around the mini sausages without too much excess dough.
  3. Assemble the Pigs in a Blanket: Place one mini sausage at the wide end of each dough triangle, then roll the dough tightly around the sausage toward the pointed end. Position the seam side down to prevent unrolling.
  4. Optional Finishes: If desired, brush the rolled dough lightly with melted butter or egg wash. Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top for added texture and visual appeal.
  5. Bake: Arrange the assembled pigs in a blanket evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Keep the crescent roll dough chilled until just before use to ensure flaky texture.
  • Don’t overfill with sausage or cheese to avoid tearing the dough during baking.
  • Roll the dough snugly around the sausage for best results and to prevent unrolling.
  • Space the pigs in a blanket evenly on the baking sheet for uniform cooking and browning.
  • Experiment with different dips like honey mustard, cheese dips, or ranch dressing for variety.
