I love appetizers, and I really love an easy appetizer like these pigs in a blanket. They are so simple to make and totally addictive. Luckily this makes a big batch, so they’re great for a party, or you can keep them in the fridge and warm them up for a quick snack.
Why you’ll love this recipe
What I love best about this recipe is the seasoning. I make classic pigs in a blanket and then give them an everything bagel seasoning upgrade. It makes them even better than the original, which are served plain.
Four ingredients and a few easy steps are all you need for the best pigs in a blanket recipe. Make a batch and watch them disappear – no one can resist them!
Ingredients
- Crescent rolls – for this recipe, you’ll need two cans
- Li’l Smokies – mini sausages you find in the sausage aisle, use any flavor or brand
- Large egg white – you don’t need the yolk!
- Everything bagel seasoning – McCormick makes this as does Trader Joe’s
What is Everything Bagel Seasoning?
Have you ever had an everything bagel? It’s the seasoning used to give them a salty, savory flavor. It’s a mix of ingredients, including poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, and onion, plus some salt.
The great news is that you can buy everything bagel seasoning in the spice aisle at many grocery stores. It’s not just for bagels – you can sprinkle it over all kinds of things, including these pigs in a blanket.
How to Make Pigs in a Blanket
- Prepare the dough: Remove the crescent roll dough from the cans and unroll them. Separate them into 16 triangles and then slice each triangle into three small triangles.
- Assemble: Place a sausage on each triangle and roll them up. Place them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Add seasoning: Brush each pig in a blanket with some egg white and sprinkle the seasoning over the top.
- Bake: Bake them at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. Serve them warm with ketchup for dipping.
FAQs
Can you make pigs in a blanket ahead of time?
If you want to make these for a party and get a head start, you can prep them 24 hours in advance. Prep them as instructed, and once you get them on the baking sheet, cover it and keep them in the refrigerator. Let them come to room temperature before baking them.
How to Reheat Leftover Pigs in a Blanket?
If you have leftovers, they will keep for up to three days in the fridge. You can warm them up in the microwave or pop them in your air fryer!
Can you freeze pigs in a blanket?
You can freeze them in a single layer unbaked or baked. If freezing unbaked, allow to thaw before baking.
Make these for all the parties, game-days, holidays, or anytime you want a savory snack! The everything seasoning really makes them unique, so definitely give it a try. Whenever I make them, they disappear quickly – I’m sure they will at your house, too!
