Ingredients

  • 1 (4 ounce) can crescent rolls
  • 14 ounces cocktail sausage
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the pre-cut triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 elongated triangles.
  3. Step 3: Place a cocktail sausage diagonally on each piece of dough. Roll the dough around the sausage and pinch the edges to seal.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over each wrapped sausage, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.

Tips & Variations

  • Use spicy sausages for a kick or add a slice of cheddar cheese inside each roll for extra flavor.
  • Try substituting sesame seeds with poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning for different toppings.
  • Make these ahead and freeze them unbaked on a tray. Once frozen, transfer to a bag and bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to baking time.

Storage

Store leftover pigs in a blanket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5–7 minutes to retain crispiness.

How to Serve

Small crescent roll bites each with a single browned sausage wrapped inside, arranged on a light brown baking paper over a white marbled surface. Each bite shows one layer of golden baked dough folded tightly around the sausage, topped with a sprinkle of white sesame seeds. The dough is smooth and flaky with a slightly shiny crust, and the sausages are glossy and reddish with slight charring. Scattered sesame seeds lie between the bites on the baking paper.

FAQs

Can I use refrigerated biscuit dough instead of crescent rolls?

Yes, biscuit dough can be used as a substitute, but crescent rolls typically provide a flakier texture and slightly sweeter flavor that complements the sausage well.

Can I prepare these in advance for a party?

Absolutely. Assemble the pigs in a blanket ahead of time and keep them refrigerated for a few hours before baking. For longer storage, freeze them unbaked and bake when ready.

Ingredients

  • 1 (4 ounce) can crescent rolls
  • 14 ounces cocktail sausages
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Dough: Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the pre-cut triangles. Then cut each triangle into 3 elongated triangles for wrapping.
  3. Wrap Sausages: Place one cocktail sausage diagonally on each dough triangle, then roll the dough edges up around the sausage, ensuring they stick together by pinching the dough.
