Easy & Delicious Pigs in a Blanket: Perfect for Parties! 🥳🌭✨ Enjoy these savory, flaky pastries filled with juicy sausages, ideal for game days, holidays, or family gatherings. This homemade recipe offers a crowd-pleasing appetizer that is quick to prepare, customizable, and irresistibly tasty.

  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 20 pieces

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of high-quality cocktail sausages or mini hot dogs
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry or crescent roll dough (preferably pre-made for convenience)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning for topping
  • Optional: mustard, ketchup, or other dips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry or crescent dough on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.
  2. Cut the pastry into strips wide enough to fully wrap each sausage. Place a sausage at the edge of a strip, and tightly roll the dough around it, sealing the ends well.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the wrapped sausages seam-side down to keep the dough secure. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15–20 minutes until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. For extra flavor, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds before baking.

Notes

  • Use high-quality sausages for better flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
  • Brush with egg wash for a shiny, crispy exterior.
  • Customize with cheese, herbs, or spices for added flavor.
