Here’s a simple and tasty way to make Pigs in a Blanket, a classic appetizer or snack loved by both kids and adults.
Ingredients (Makes about 12–15)
- 12 mini sausages or cocktail wieners
- 1 sheet of puff pastry or crescent roll dough
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: mustard, cheese slices, or sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pastry and cut into strips wide enough to wrap around the sausages.
- Wrap each sausage with a strip of pastry. If desired, add a thin slice of cheese inside before wrapping.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds if you like.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little paprika or garlic powder on top before baking.
- Puff pastry gives a flakier result, while crescent roll dough gives a softer, bread-like texture.
- Mini versions are perfect for parties; larger sausages work for a hearty snack.
If you want, I can also give a fun, creative version with a spicy or cheesy twist that makes them even more irresistible.
