Ingredients

Units Scale

Pigs In A Blanket

  • All-purpose flour, for surface dusting
  • 1 (8-oz.) tube crescent rolls
  • 1 (12-oz.) package mini cocktail wieners
  • 4 Tbsp. melted unsalted butter
  • Coarse salt, for sprinkling

Mayo-Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 Tbsp. lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF to ensure it’s ready for baking the pigs in a blanket to a golden crisp.
  2. Prepare Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and unroll the crescent roll sheets. Tear them apart at the perforations and then cut each triangular piece into three smaller triangles for perfect bite-sized wraps.
  3. Wrap Wieners: Place one mini cocktail wiener at the thick base of each small triangle. Gently roll the dough toward the thinner point, completely encasing the wiener.
  4. Arrange and Season: Transfer each wrapped wiener onto a medium-sized baking sheet. Brush them generously with melted butter and sprinkle coarse salt evenly over the tops for added flavor and crispiness.
  5. Bake: Bake the pigs in a blanket in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
  6. Prepare Dipping Sauce (Optional): While the pigs in a blanket are baking, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth and well combined. Serve alongside for dipping.

Notes

  • You can use pre-made crescent roll dough to save time, but homemade dough can also be used for a more artisanal touch.
  • Feel free to substitute mini cocktail wieners with your preferred sausage or hot dog bites.
  • The dipping sauce is optional but adds a nice sweet and tangy complement to the savory appetizer.
  • For a crispier texture, brush with butter twice: before and halfway through baking.
  • Make sure to cut the dough into small triangles for easy handling and uniform baking.
