Equipment

  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 packages (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 48 cocktail-sized smoked sausages about 14 oz total
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Toppings & Wash

  • sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning optional, for topping
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water for egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it along the perforations. Cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles. You'll get 24 triangles from each package.
  • Place a cocktail sausage on the wide end of each dough triangle and roll toward the pointed end. The dough should wrap around the sausage about 1.5 times.
  • Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  • Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each pig in a blanket with the egg wash, then sprinkle with your chosen toppings if using.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.

Notes

For a make-ahead option, prepare but don't bake, freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a container once frozen. They'll stay fresh for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, add 5-7 minutes to the cooking time if baking from frozen.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results when reheating, use a 350°F oven for 7-8 minutes rather than microwaving to maintain crispiness.
