Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
- Open both cans of Pillsbury crescent rolls and unroll the dough. Separate the dough into the pre-cut triangles (there will be 16 total from two cans).
- Cut each triangle crosswise into 3 equal strips (from the wide end toward the point) to yield 48 small dough strips.
- Place a mini cocktail smokie on the wide end of a dough strip. Roll the dough around the smokie toward the tip so the seam is on the bottom. Repeat with the remaining smokies and dough strips, placing each wrapped smokie on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush or spoon, lightly brush the top of each wrapped smokie with the beaten egg.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and/or poppy seeds over the egg-washed tops. If using, sprinkle the coarse salt sparingly on top (optional).
- Bake on the center oven rack for about 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Serve warm (for example, with mustard or ketchup).
Notes
Make ahead– you can make these in advance and store in the fridge! If you are storing them longer than overnight – you can make them, freeze on trays and then store in freezer bags for up to a month! Easy snacks ready to be baked and served hot at anytime! No need to let them thaw before baking, just allow for a slightly longer baking time.
If you can’t find mini cocktail smokies, you can use different types of sausage or hot dogs. Use your favorite sausage, such as a chicken sausage, andouille or even smoked sausages.
All leftovers should be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in foil/cling wrap (tightly) in the fridge for up to a week! Again, you can freeze these little pigs for up to a month if you want to keep them longer
You can heat refrigerated pigs in a blanket by microwaving them, placing them in a crockpot on warm for20-30 minutes, or you can reheat them in the oven. If using the oven, place them on a baking sheet at 350℉and bake for 8-10 minutes.
