Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces cocktail sausages
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Open the can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles following the perforated lines.
Cut each triangle of dough into smaller strips, approximately 1 inch wide. You should have enough strips to wrap around each cocktail sausage.
Take one cocktail sausage and wrap it with a strip of dough, slightly overlapping the edges as you go. Leave the ends of the sausage exposed. Place the wrapped sausage seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining cocktail sausages and dough strips until all are wrapped and arranged on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top of each wrapped sausage with the egg wash. This helps them turn golden brown while baking.
If desired, sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds or poppy seeds for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Piggies in a Blanket to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard.
