Equipment

  • 1 Pizza Cutter
  • 1 pastry brush (or spoon)
  • 1 cookie sheet
  • parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients
  

Pigs in a Blanket

  • 1 package lit'l smokie sausages (I like these)
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 T Everything Bagel Seasoning (like this one or this one)

Siracha Mayo Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 t Siracha sauce use more or less taste

Instructions
 

  • Open the can of refrigerated crescent rolls and lay them out of a flat surface. Using a pizza cutter, slice each tringle the long way down the center to create two, thinner triangles. This will give you 16 dough triangles.
  • Take a lit'l smokie sausage and place it at the skinny end of the triangle, and roll it up into the dough. Do this with all 16 of the dough triangles.
  • I like to line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is an optional step, but it will help prevent the bottoms of the crescent rolls form scorching, and it makes clean up easier!
  • Crack the egg in small bowl and stir to combine the yolk and the white. Using a pastry brush or a spoon, brush a little egg wash onto the top of each sausage roll. This will help the seasoning stick to the dough.
  • Shake the desired amount of Everything Bagel Seasoning onto the top of each egg washed roll. I typically measure approx 1/2T of the seasoning into a small bowl and use my fingers to evenly sprinkle it onto the 16 rolls.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 12-13 minutes. Keep a close eye on them as the bottoms of the rolls can burn easily.
  • While they bake, make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1/2c of mayonnaise and 3-6 t of Siracha sauce depending on how spicy you like it (I typically do 4t). Stir until completely combined.
  • Serve pigs in a blanket on a large plate with dipping sauce.
