How to Make Mini Piggies in a Blanket

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

1 refrigerated can of croissant dough (with 12 croissants)
24 pre-cooked cocktail sausages
1-2 eggs, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tsp poppy seeds (for sprinkling)

Step by Step Guide

1. Start by preheating your oven to the temperature indicated on your croissant dough package, usually around 350°F (175°C).

2. Carefully open the can of croissant dough and unroll it. You’ll find 12 delightful triangular pieces waiting to be transformed into mini piggies.

3. Along the perforated lines of the dough triangles, cut to make 24 smaller triangles. This will give you just enough dough to wrap around each little sausage.

4. Take a small triangle of dough, place a cocktail sausage at the wide end, and roll the dough around the sausage. Repeat this step until all sausages are snugly wrapped.

5. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and, using a pastry brush or your fingers, lightly brush each wrapped sausage with the egg wash. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown color once baked.

6. Add a sprinkle of poppy seeds over the top for an extra crunch and a touch of elegance.

7. Place your mini piggies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave a little space between each one for even baking.

8. Pop the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes. Keep an eye on them until they turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

Once baked, let them cool slightly before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces and watch them disappear!

And there you have it! These Mini Piggies in a Blanket are bound to be a hit at your next gathering! They’re easy to make, full of flavor, and oh-so-satisfying. So grab your ingredients, roll up those sausages, and get ready for a tasty snack that everyone will love. Happy cooking!
