Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces thick sausages
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles following the perforated lines.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush both sides of each dough triangle with the melted butter. Sprinkle a small pinch of garlic powder onto each one for added flavor.
Wrap each dough triangle around the middle section of a sausage, leaving each end of the sausage exposed. Press the edges of the dough firmly to seal the wrap around the sausage.
Place the wrapped sausages onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the Blanket in a Pig cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh garnish.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as mustard or ketchup, and enjoy!
