Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 8 hot dogs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Open the package of crescent roll dough. Carefully unroll the dough and separate it into the pre-scored triangles. You should have 8 triangles in total.
- Take one hot dog and place it at the wide end of a triangle of crescent roll dough. Roll the dough around the hot dog, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point. Make sure to wrap it snugly but not too tight, as the dough will expand while baking.
- Repeat the process for all 8 hot dogs, placing each wrapped hot dog on the prepared baking sheet with the point of the dough facing down to prevent it from unrolling during baking.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the egg wash over the tops of the wrapped hot dogs. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and puffed up.
- While the pigs in a blanket are baking, prepare the honey Dijon dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Once the pigs in a blanket are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet.
- Transfer the pigs in a blanket to a serving platter and serve warm with the honey Dijon dipping sauce on the side.
- Enjoy your delicious pigs in a blanket as a fun appetizer or snack!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: If you're short on time, you can prepare the pigs in a blanket ahead of time. Assemble them, place them on the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to get creative with the dipping sauce! Try adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of garlic powder to the honey Dijon for an extra flavor kick.
- Perfectly Golden: For an extra golden finish, make sure to brush the egg wash evenly over the dough, covering all exposed areas before baking.
- Serve with Variety: Offer a selection of dipping sauces alongside the honey Dijon, such as ketchup, barbecue sauce, or spicy mustard, to cater to different taste preferences.
- Don’t Overcrowd: When placing the wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet, ensure they have enough space to expand while baking. This will help achieve that perfect puffiness!
