Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 24 smoked sausages cocktail-size (about 12 ounces)

Equipment

  • 1 large baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
  4. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow strips.
  5. Wrap one strip of dough around each sausage, starting at the wide end.
  6. Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For neat seams, place each wrapped sausage seam-side down before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freeze baked pigs in a blanket for up to 2 months. For a vegetarian swap, use plant-based cocktail sausages.
