Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent dough
Sausages
- 10 ounces smoked cocktail sausages, 24 pieces
Topping
- 1 large egg, whisked
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a cutting board. Separate into 8 triangles, then cut each triangle lengthwise into three smaller triangles to make 24 pieces in total.
- Roll the Sausages: Pat each smoked cocktail sausage dry with a paper towel. Place a sausage at the widest end of each dough triangle and roll it toward the pointed end, covering the sausage completely. Repeat for all pieces.
- Brush and Season: Arrange the wrapped sausages point-side down on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops and edges of the dough with the whisked egg. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 14 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and puffed. Remove immediately and transfer to a serving platter.
- Serve: Serve warm with dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or your favorite condiments.
Notes
- Use large hot dogs or cooked sausage cut into 2 ½ inch pieces as a substitute for cocktail sausages.
- Try topping with sea salt, black pepper, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, granulated onion, or garlic instead of everything bagel seasoning for varied flavors.
- Store leftover pigs in a blanket in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave on high in 15-second intervals or warm in the oven at 325ºF (165ºC) until heated through.
