Ingredients Needed

  • Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough: The flaky, buttery base that wraps up these mini snacks.
  • Cocktail Sausages: Pre-cooked and perfectly sized for bite-sized piggies.
  • Eggs: Beaten for an egg wash that creates a beautiful golden crust.
  • Poppy Seeds: Adds a nutty flavor and a visually appealing finish.

How to Make Crescent Rolls Pigs in a Blanket

Preheat the oven to the temperature indicated on the croissant dough package, usually 350°F (175°C).

Open the croissant dough and separate it into 12 triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create 24 smaller triangles.

Place a cocktail sausage at the wide end of each triangle and roll the dough tightly around the sausage.

Brush the wrapped sausages with beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Arrange the wrapped sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them for even cooking.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked. Let them cool slightly before serving with dipping sauces of your choice.

How to Store

Store leftover piggies in a blanket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to restore their crispness.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Use Puff Pastry: For an even flakier texture, swap croissant dough with puff pastry.
  • Add Cheese: Place a small slice of cheese inside the dough before wrapping the sausages.
  • Make Them Spicy: Use spicy sausages or add a pinch of cayenne to the dough for a little heat.
  • Vegan Option: Substitute with plant-based sausages and vegan crescent dough.
  • Hot Dogs: Make pigs in a blanket using regular or cheesy hot dogs; simple cut them in pieces so they fit in the crescent rolls and follow the rest of the instructions.

Tips for Making

  • Make sure the dough is tightly wrapped around the sausages to prevent it from unrolling during baking.
  • Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens may vary—remove the piggies when they’re golden and cooked through.
  • Use a pizza cutters to make slicing the dough easier.
