Whether you’re hosting a party or looking for a quick snack, this recipe is a crowd-pleaser and super easy to prepare!
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of crescent rolls (8-count)
- 1/2 pack of crescent rolls (4-count)
- 1 packet of Lit’l Smokies sausages (14 oz)
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon spicy Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or giving it a light coating of grease to avoid sticking.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Open the crescent dough and carefully divide it into separate triangular pieces. Cut each triangle in half to make smaller triangles, as you’ll be wrapping the Lit’l Smokies in the dough.
- Wrap the Smokies: Place one Lit’l Smokie on the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Roll up the crescent dough, starting from the wide end, wrapping the sausage completely. Repeat this process until all the sausages are wrapped.
- Make the Glaze: In a petite saucepan, gently heat the butter over medium heat until it is fully melted. Stir in the spicy Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens slightly.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Arrange the wrapped Lit’l Smokies on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the glaze over each pig in a blanket. Sprinkle the poppy seeds evenly over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the glazed pigs in a blanket from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm, either on their own or with an extra side of spicy Dijon mustard for dipping.
Conclusion:
These Glazed Pigs in a Blanket are the perfect balance of buttery, sweet, and savory flavors. The spicy Dijon mustard adds a nice kick to the smoky sausages, while the brown sugar glaze gives a delightful sweetness. Whether you’re preparing them for a party, game day, or just a cozy snack, these bite-sized treats are sure to disappear fast!
