Servings: 24 pigs in a blanket
Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) package Li'l Smokies
- 1 (8-ounce) can Crescent roll dough pulled apart at the perforated lines
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon black and white sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large 12x16-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the Li'l Smokies to a large cutting board and pierce each with a fork on all sides.
- Take each triangle section of the crescent rolls and slice them into three parts, making three long triangles.
- Take a Li'l Smokey and place it on the wide section of one of the slices of dough. Slowly roll it up into the smaller section. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and mini hot dogs and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the water to create an egg wash.
- Brush the top of each rolled pig in a blanket with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with all of your favorite sauces, like ketchup and dijon mustard.
Notes
Storage: Pigs in a blanket are best-served immediately but can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing: Prepare as outlined, then transfer the baking sheet with the unbaked pigs in a blanket to the freezer for 2 hours before transferring to a large freezer-safe ziplock bag. Cook from frozen in a 400-degree Fahrenheit oven for 20-25 or until golden brown.
