Ingredients
Scale
Sausages and Dough
- 1 package (14 oz) mini smoked sausages
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough
Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pigs in a blanket.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the can of refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Cut Dough Triangles: Cut each large triangle into 3 smaller triangles to create appropriately sized pieces for wrapping.
- Wrap Sausages: Wrap each mini smoked sausage with a small dough triangle, ensuring the sausage is fully covered, then place each wrapped sausage onto a baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the wrapped sausages in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Glaze: While baking, mix honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce in a bowl until well combined to create a flavorful glaze.
- Apply Glaze: Remove the baked pigs in a blanket from the oven and brush the glaze generously over each piece.
- Set Glaze: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the glaze is set and slightly caramelized.
- Serve: Serve the glazed pigs in a blanket warm as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can bake the wrapped sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Adjust the amount of mustard or soy sauce in the glaze to suit your taste preferences.
- These are best served fresh and warm but can be reheated gently in the oven.
- Mini smoked sausages can be substituted with cocktail sausages if preferred.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze mixture.
