    How to Serve Pigs In A Blanket

    After your Pigs In A Blanket come out of the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.

    One of my favorite dipping sauces to serve with Pigs In A Blanket is Spicy Mayo Sauce, the spicy kick will compliment your Pigs In A Blanket very well. If you’re not a fan of spicy foods, I would recommend trying this Homemade Ranch Dip, it’s delicious and made in 10 minutes.

    Equipment

    • Baking Sheet

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 (8 ounce package) Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough
    • 1 (14 ounce package) Little Smokies – cocktail sized sausages
    • 1 Egg
    • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
    • 1 tablespoon Poppy Seeds

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    • Place one cocktail sausage on the wide base of one thin triangle. Roll the sausage toward the pointed end of the triangle, allowing the dough to overlap and wrap around the sausage. Place the rolled sausage on prepared baking sheet, point-side down. Repeat with the remaining dough triangles and sausages.
    • Whisk together your egg, 1 teaspoon water, and garlic powder in a small bowl until smooth. Brush the egg wash over the dough and sprinkle with the poppy seeds.
