Pigs in a Blanket

Gotta love a classic Pigs in a Blanket appetizer! These are always the first to go a party, and for good reason. Whole all-beef hot dogs are wrapped in crescent roll dough, stuffed with cheeses and baked with a garlicky butter. They’re cheesy, easy to make, and so addictive!

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 4 hot dogs
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1 package crescent roll triangle
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ketchup, mustard, and maldon salt for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Take the 1 package crescent roll triangle dough out of the can. Keep the dough intact. Gently pull the dough into four rectangles. (They should already be in rectangles as each rectangle has two triangles that are meant to be pulled apart if you were making classic crescent rolls.) Use your fingers to pinch the middle of the triangles together so the rectangle stays intact when you cut it and roll the pigs in a blanket.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut each rectangle into three long strips. They should be about 3/4-inch by 4-inches. You should have twelve strips.
  • Cut the 4 hot dogs into thirds. You should have twelve pieces of hot dog.
  • Cut each slice of the 2 slices American cheese in half and then into thirds. You should have six small pieces of cheese.
  • If using, brush the strips of dough with a little bit of the 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Place a piece of cheese on the bottom of the strip of dough. Place a piece of hot dog on top. Roll up and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12 minutes until golden brown and cheese has melted.
  • While they bake, melt 2 tablespoon salted butter in a small saucepan. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. When the pigs in a blanket come out of the oven, brush them with the butter mixture. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Serve with your preferred dipping sauce.
