Pigs in a Blanket with Cheddar and Dijon

Make fun and flavourful Pigs in a Blanket spiced up with sharp cheddar cheese and zesty Dijon mustard. This recipe is perfect for a kid-friendly appetizer that adults will enjoy too.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package crescent roll dough
  • 1 package (12 count) little smokies or cocktail sausages
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough. Separate the dough into individual triangles.
  3. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the wide end of each dough triangle.
  4. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the mustard.
  5. Place one little smokie near the wide end of the triangle.
  6. Roll the dough tightly around the sausage, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the tip. Pinch the ends to seal.
  7. Place the rolled sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with the beaten egg wash.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can use puff pastry instead of crescent roll dough for a flakier texture.
  • For extra flavour, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
  • Serve immediately while warm for the best taste.
