The Mini Sausages are the protagonists here. They’re cute, they’re juicy, and they steal the show. The Crescent Rolls blanket those little fellas, offering a crispy crunch with every bite. The Cheese, oh the Cheese! It only adds an extra layer of gooiness and richness. Substitutions?

How To Make Pigs In A Blanket

1. Preheat your Oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease your Baking sheet.
2. Each Crescent roll can be cut into half to fit the mini sausages. So, unroll them and start slicing.
3. Put a mini sausage and a half slice of cheese on each piece of a roll. Roll up the dough around the sausage and cheese and place on the Baking sheet, seam side down.
4. Brush each piece with the beaten egg (aka egg wash). It’s gonna help them getting lovely and golden. Put the tray in the Oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown.
