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!
Servings: 12 pigs in a blanket
Cost: $10
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs
- 2 slices American cheese
- 1 package crescent roll triangles
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp 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 crescent roll dough out of the can. Keep the dough in tact. 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 in tact 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 hot dogs into thirds. You should have twelve pieces of hot dog.
- Cut each slice of 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 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 prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 minutes until golden brown and cheese has melted.
- While the pigs in a blanket bake, melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in garlic powder and onion powder. When the pigs in a blanket comet of the oven, brush with the butter. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Serve with preferred dipping sauce.
