A quick and easy recipe for crispy pigs in a blanket served with a sweet and tangy honey mustard dip, perfect for snacks, parties, or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 oz / 227 g) crescent roll dough
  • 24 mini cocktail sausages or little smokies (beef, pork, or turkey)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: Sesame seeds or poppy seeds
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the perforations to seal them. Cut the dough into 24 strips about 1 inch wide.
  3. Wrap each mini sausage snugly with a strip of dough, spiraling it around.
  4. Place wrapped sausages seam-side down on the baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  5. Brush each wrapped sausage with beaten egg wash and optionally sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough is puffed and golden brown.
  7. While baking, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  8. Let the pigs in a blanket cool for 5 minutes before serving with the honey mustard dip.

Notes

If dough browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, use gluten-free puff pastry sheets. For vegan dip, use dairy-free mayo and plant-based sausages. Cheese-stuffed and spicy variations are possible. Leftovers keep 3 days refrigerated; reheat in oven for crispiness.
