Ingredients
- 8 ounces (1 tube) crescent roll dough (the kind that comes in a tube, such as Pillsbury.)
- 16 ounces fully-cooked sausages (4 links) (Fully cooked pork, chicken, or beef dinner sausages, such as Aidell's brand. Use your favorite flavor.)
- 1 large egg
- Toothpicks or party picks
- Dipping sauce (Such as spicy mustards, pepper jelly, chili sauce or cheese sauce.)
Instructions
Prepare the crescent roll dough:
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Open the 8 ounces (1 tube) crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a lightly floured surface. Pinch the perforated seams together with your fingers. Use a rolling pin to roll out the sheet of dough to make it just a little thinner and larger.
- (Some brands also sell crescent roll dough sheets—you can use this instead and not have to worry about closing the perforations.)
- Cut the dough with a knife or pizza cutter into 4 equal sqaures.
Wrap and brush the sausages:
- Wrap the 16 ounces fully-cooked sausages (4 links) in dough: Place one sausage link on one of the dough sections; pull the dough up and around the sausage to fully enclose it.
- Pinch the seams and ends of the dough closed. Place the sausage roll on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough sections and sausages. Space them apart from each other on the baking sheet.
- Beat the 1 large egg together with a teaspoon of water in a small dish. Brush this egg mixture over the sausage rolls, covering all of the surfaces and the ends.
Bake:
- Bake the pigs in a blanket crescent rolls for 15 minutes. Then, drape a piece of foil loosely over the tops of the rolls (to prevent over-browning) and bake them for 10 minutes longer.
- Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
Slice and serve:
- Use a serrated knife to slice each baked roll into six bite-sized pieces. Skewer each piece with Toothpicks or party picks down through the top.
- Arrange the Pigs In A Blanket Crescent Rolls bites on a serving platter, along with a small bowl of a Dipping sauce of your choice. Serve them while they're warm.
- Makes about 24 bite-sized pieces.
- Store any leftover pigs in a blanket in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Some brands also have crescent roll dough sheets—you can use this instead and not have to worry about closing the perforations.
