Little Smokies Pigs in a Blanket
This Little Smokies Pigs in a Blanket recipe is a classic appetizer kicked up a notch. This quick and easy appetizer uses everything but the bagel seasoning to amp up the savory flavor.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Crescent rolls , 1 package
- 14 ounces Lit’l Smokies, 1 package
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Everything but the bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate one rectangle made up of two triangle crescent rolls. Pinch the seam of the triangles together, then roll out the dough until it’s a flat rectangle.
- Cut the rectangle into one-inch strips, then wrap each strip around a sausage. Place the wrapped sausages on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Brush the sausages with melted butter and sprinkle everything but the bagel seasoning on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, until the crescent rolls are golden brown. Serve immediately
Christina's Notes
- Double the Recipe: This blanket recipe makes about 28 pieces. If you want to double it grab another package of crescent rolls and sausages, and work in batches.
- Dough Handling: Don't overwork the dough. Gently unroll it and cut it into strips or squares.
- Sausage Prep: Pat the Little Smokies dry with paper towels before wrapping them. This helps the dough adhere better and prevents sogginess.
- Wrapping Technique: Wrap the dough tightly around the sausages, ensuring a good seal. This prevents the filling from leaking out during baking. Overlap the dough slightly.
- Egg Wash: Brushing the dough with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water) before baking gives the blankets a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Seasoning: Sprinkle the dough with sesame seeds, poppy seeds for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Bacon: If you love lil smokies, try them wrapped in bacon!
- Smaller Dough Strips: Cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles, place the sausage on the wide end and roll all the way up.
