Ingredients You'll Need

Scroll to the recipe card for exact measurements.

• Refrigerated croissant dough: The flaky, golden base that wraps the mini sausages perfectly.
• Cocktail sausages: Pre-cooked and bite-sized for convenience.
• Eggs: Brushed on top for that shiny, golden finish.
• Poppy seeds: Add a touch of crunch and color.

Tool Tip: Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and a pastry brush for an easy prep and cleanup.

How to Make Mini Piggies in a Blanket

Step 1: Preheat the oven to the temperature on the croissant dough package (usually around 350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into 12 triangles. Cut each triangle in half to create 24 smaller pieces.

Step 3: Place one mini sausage on the wide end of each dough triangle, then roll it up tightly.

Step 4: Lightly brush the tops with beaten egg for that glossy, golden look. Sprinkle with poppy seeds for extra flavor.

Step 5: Arrange on your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite dips like ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Substitutions and Variations

• Use everything bagel seasoning instead of poppy seeds for a trendy twist.
• Add shredded cheddar inside the dough for extra gooey bites.
• Brush with melted butter mixed with garlic powder for a savory version.

What to Serve with Mini Piggies in a Blanket

Serve these alongside a cozy spread of ranch dip, BBQ sauce, or honey mustard. They also pair perfectly with charcuterie boards, soups, or holiday snack platters for an easy and festive combo.

Storage and Freezing

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until warm and crisp again.

FAQs

Can I make mini piggies in a blanket ahead of time?

Yes, assemble them up to a day ahead and refrigerate until baking. Brush with egg wash right before they go in the oven.

How do I keep them warm for parties?

Place them on a baking tray covered with foil and keep in a 200°F oven until serving.

Can I use biscuit dough instead of crescent rolls?

You can, but the texture will be thicker and less flaky. Crescent dough gives a lighter, crispier bite.

What dipping sauces go best with them?

Try ketchup, spicy mustard, ranch, or even a creamy cheese dip for variety.
