Pigs in a Blanket
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated crescent roll dough | 1 (8 oz) can |
| Cocktail sausages (little smokies or mini hot dogs) | 24 |
| Egg, beaten (optional for egg wash) | 1 |
| Everything bagel seasoning (optional) | 1 tbsp |
| Shredded cheddar cheese (optional) | 1/2 cup |
| Garlic powder (optional) | 1/2 tsp |
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles, then slice each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow strips, giving you 24 pieces of dough.
Wrap each cocktail sausage with a strip, starting at one end and spiraling toward the other, then place each piece seam-side down on the baking sheet.
If desired, brush with beaten egg and add toppings such as everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, or a sprinkle of cheddar.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until the dough turns golden and puffy.
Serve warm with mustard, ketchup, ranch, cheese sauce, or BBQ for dipping.
