Pigs in a Blanket are a timeless, crowd-pleasing snack that never fails to bring joy to any gathering. Whether you’re serving them at a party, enjoying them as a game day treat, or simply indulging in a nostalgic comfort food moment, these bite-sized delights are always a hit. Made with mini sausages wrapped in flaky, buttery pastry, they offer a perfect combination of savory and buttery flavors, making them irresistible to everyone.
What makes Pigs in a Blanket so beloved is their simplicity and versatility. The soft, golden pastry surrounds the savory sausage, creating a warm, satisfying bite that’s both crunchy and tender. You can use cocktail sausages, mini hot dogs, or even veggie sausages for a plant-based version, there’s a variety of options to suit every taste. The dough is typically made with puff pastry or biscuit dough, both of which offer a delicious, flaky exterior that contrasts wonderfully with the savory filling.
Pigs in a Blanket are incredibly easy to prepare, making them the perfect snack for both casual and special occasions. They can be baked quickly in the oven, and in less than 20 minutes, you’ll have a platter full of golden, perfectly baked treats. Pair them with a variety of dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or barbecue sauce, or get creative with ranch, honey mustard, or even spicy sriracha for a fun twist.
What’s great about Pigs in a Blanket is how adaptable they are. You can make them ahead of time, freeze them, and bake them whenever you’re ready to serve. They’re also perfect for customizing, add a slice of cheese inside the dough for extra gooey goodness, or sprinkle the pastry with herbs or garlic powder for an extra flavor boost.
From casual get-togethers to formal parties, Pigs in a Blanket are always a crowd favorite. Their bite-sized nature makes them easy to snack on, and their irresistible combination of savory sausage and buttery pastry will have everyone coming back for more.
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry thawed if frozen, or crescent rolls
- 12 pieces mini sausages or hot dogs
- 1 tbsp egg beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry or crescent rolls and cut them into small triangles.
- Place one mini sausage or hot dog on the wide end of each triangle and roll it up towards the narrow end.
- Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the wrapped sausages with the beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Not bad, but cutting triangles out of crescent dough felt weird. Mine kind of tore when I rolled them. Probably user error, but I’ll try puff pastry next time.
I don’t know, they were kinda dry. Maybe need more seasoning?
I agree! They can be a bit bland without enough seasoning. Try adding some garlic powder or paprika next time!
Mine browned fast at 12 minutes, so watch them closely. The taste was great though—crispy outside, juicy inside. Wouldn’t change much.
Thanks for the heads-up! I’ve had mine go from pale to burnt in like 10 minutes before. 12 sounds about right—now I’ll start checking early.
Hmm mine didn’t brown at 12… I think my oven runs cold. I just baked longer till it looked golden. Tasted good but the pastry got kinda dry, maybe I overdid it.
So easy to make, but my kids devoured them in seconds! I’ll definitely be making these again.
These are a hit at every party! So easy to make and everyone loves them.
So simple. So good. “Pigs in a blanket” never fails.
I tried using only puff pastry sheets and cut triangles—kinda messy but fun. Not super hard. Also parchment paper saved cleanup, 10/10 for that.
Yummy! I made these for a party and everyone went bananas! 🍴
So easy and they came out perfectly golden. The egg wash really makes a difference—crispy tops for days.
Could’ve used more detailed instructions—like do we bake on the middle rack? I guessed and it browned unevenly. Tasty though.
375°F seems fine but I swear my oven runs hotter. I ended up baking closer to 10-11 minutes and it saved them from getting too dark.
I dunno, I think the puff pastry takes too long. I prefer the store-bought stuff, lol.
I get that! Store-bought is super convenient. But there’s just something about homemade that hits different. 🙃
I thought pigs in a blanket were made with real pigs. Not sure how I feel about this. 🤔
Super tasty! Couldn’t stop eating them. 😍
I followed the steps but mine browned too fast at 12 minutes. Maybe my oven runs hot—still delicious though.
My kids loved these. I paired them with mustard and ketchup and they ate like they were starving (they were not).
Delicious! Easy peasy, I made them for my kids and they loved it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Are the sausages really necessary?? Can’t I just put cheese inside?
I made these using hotdogs from a can, not sure if that’s right but they were still ok??
Hotdogs from a can? That’s different! But I’m glad they turned out okay for you!
These are dangerously snackable. I made a batch and they were gone before the main meal… oops.
Dangerously snackable is right… I overbaked mine once and they got kinda crispy (like, too crispy), but still tasted good. Next time I’m cutting the triangles smaller so they don’t need as long.
Haha same here—these are basically an edible “mic drop.” I swear they disappear faster than I can set the table.
Yummy! But can I make em with cheese? That would be awesome!
Yes! You can totally add cheese! Just put a piece inside the triangle with the sausage before rolling it up. It’s gonna be so cheesy and delicious!
Cheese in pigs in a blanket? That sounds weird. I dunno, might ruin the whole thing…
Puff pastry is overrated! Use crescent rolls instead, way better!
I think puff pastry has its own unique flakiness that makes it special! But I guess if you like crescent rolls, go for it.
Crescent rolls? Really? Just doesn’t taste the same, but to each their own. 🤷♂️
I used hot dogs, but it turn out soggy, idk what went wrong…😩
These are a huge hit at our parties! Everyone loves them, especially the kids. Easy to make too!
Pigs in blankets are for kids. I want to eat grown-up food!
Who says adults can’t enjoy some fun food? Pigs in blankets are delicious!
So good!!! 😋 My kids devoured them in minutes. They’re so cute too. Thanks for sharing!
Why are these called pigs in a blanket if they’re hot dogs? Confusing.
Too much effort for a snack. I think I’ll stick to buying them frozen next time.
These were a hit at the party! So easy to make and they disappeared fast.
These sound delicious! I need to try them for my next gathering.
I tried this but used bacon instead of mini sausages. Wasn’t what I expected. 😕
I used chicken sausages instead of mini hot dogs, and they turned out great! Will definitely do again.
Disappointed. Didn’t taste like I thought they would. Need more flavor!
Easy and kid-approved. I used crescent rolls and they were a little softer than puff pastry, but still delicious. Next time I’ll cut the triangles a bit more evenly so the rolls match.
Not my thing. Too much pastry for my taste.
Simple and quick to prepare. Think I might add cheese next time for some extra flavor!
Adding cheese sounds delicious! I made these last week and they were a hit at the party. Definitely going to try it with cheese next time too.
I found them kinda bland. Maybe add some spices?
Nah, they’re fine as they are. You gotta appreciate the simplicity!
I totally agree! A little paprika or garlic powder could really amp it up!
I’m no cook, but these were easy enough. Thanks for sharing!
I dunno, they kinda look too simple. Are they really that good? 🤔
Glad to hear you found it easy! Perfect for beginners. 🥳
Can you use biscuit dough instead? I don’t have puff pastry.
I dunno, the puff pastry just didn’t work well for me. They came out soggy. 🙁
These are so good! I added cheese inside too, delish!
These are the best! Super easy and everyone loves them at parties. 🥳
I totally agree! These are a hit every time! 🎉
They seem simple, but I never get it right. My pastry always burns! 😩
Delicious! I added some spices and it made them even better!
Lol, I thought I was making blankets for pigs, not food. 😂
Haha, I love that! But trust me, they are way tastier than any blanket for pigs! 😂
I followed it pretty close, but mine were a little too browned after 15 minutes. Next time I’ll start checking at 10-12. Still tasty though.
That browned-up quick is so real—puff pastry can go from “golden” to “too much” fast. Next time starting at 10–12 minutes makes sense. I also rotate the pan halfway through when I remember. Glad they were still tasty though!
Why do people love these so much? I don’t get it. They weren’t that great to me.
I tried it with hot dogs instead of mini sausages and it still worked. Crisp outside, juicy inside. My family asked for them again tomorrow lol.
Super quick snack! My kids devoured them in minutes! 👍
I tried this recipe, but the pastry was soggy. Maybe I did something wrong?
You’re kidding me right? Its just sausages in dough. Weird recipe.
375°F is okay but I think 400 would be better for extra browning. Mine barely colored after 15 mins and I’m not patient.
I get the browning issue—puff pastry can be stubborn. I’d try 400°F for 1–3 minutes extra, but watch closely so it doesn’t over-brown before the inside heats through.
Mine didn’t color much at 375 either. I was like “where’s the gold?!” 😅 I turned it up to 400 and kept an eye on it—came out way better. 12-15 mins is kinda tight though.
I used cheese instead of sausages, turned out great! Who knew?
pigs in a blanket, yum! Easy to make! 👍
I totally agree! These are a hit at every party. So simple and delicious!
I tried this recipe, and it was a disaster! The pastry didn’t cook right and the sausages were left cold. Never again.
These turned out sooo golden and flaky. The egg wash really makes a difference—mine looked like a bakery snack. I’ll definitely make these for game night again!
I tried this and they were good, but mine kinda blew up and the pastry separated? I used crescent rolls tho not puff pastry. Still tasty, just not as pretty like yours 😅
Totally agree—egg wash is the magic touch. Mine don’t usually look “bakery” but after brushing, they got that perfect shine and crunch. Great for game night snacks!
Just made these and they were pretty good! I didn’t have any egg for wash so I used milk instead. Still tasty! 🙂
Sounds awesome! Using milk is a great idea. I might try that next time I run out of eggs.
I dunno, I think the egg wash is important for taste. Milk might not cut it. 🤔
I was skeptical at first, but these are amazing! I added cheese and they were a hit!
Yummm! Just what I needed for my party. Everyone loved them!
So glad to hear that! They’re a hit at every party, aren’t they? 🎉
They were good and all, but I found them a bit greasy. Maybe it’s just me?
These came out super golden and flaky! I used puff pastry and the egg wash really made them look bakery-level. Will definitely make again for game night.
Who knew this was so simple? I just rolled them like a burrito and baked! YUM!
I never thought it could be that easy! I’ll definitely try it this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
I dunno, rolling them like that sounds a bit strange. Aren’t they supposed to be wrapped properly? 🤔
Yummy!!! My kids gobbled them up! Will make again for sure.
Too salty for my taste. Shoulda used less sausage or something.
I forgot to brush the egg on top, still tasted good tho. Next time I’ll follow exactly.
No egg wash? Still sounds yummy! I usually skip it when I’m feeling lazy.
Egg wash is important, tho! Makes it shiny. But glad you enjoyed it anyway!
Can you use regular sausage? I don’t like those tiny ones, they’re weird. Just a thought!
I tried this but my pastry turned out super soggy. Didn’t know what I did wrong.
These are the best snacks ever! Perfect for game day!
Totally agree! These are a must-have for every game night. Super easy and delicious!
Mom used to make these but she never followed a recipe. I can kinda remember how!
That’s awesome! Sometimes the best recipes come from memory. I can totally relate to that.
Pigs in a blanket? More like pigs in a FROWN! Not wowed by the flavor. 🙁
Why do you need egg wash? It’s fine without it. Seems like a waste of time.
My puff pastry didn’t thaw all the way and it tore a bit, so mine looked messy. Flavor was still good though—salty little bites!
Ugh, same thing happened to me once—when it’s still a bit frozen it gets super stubborn and tears. I’ve started letting it sit just a little longer (like 20-30 min) and it rolls way cleaner. Glad the flavor still hit though!
Mine tore a bit too the first time 😅 I just slapped it together anyway and it still tasted good. But next time I think you gotta thaw it more than “just enough” or it’ll look like a crime scene. Salty bites for the win!
These were a hit at my party! So easy to make and everyone loved them!
I’m so glad to hear that! They really are super simple and delish! 😊
I tried this but used full-size sausages and it didn’t work at all. They were too big! Stick with mini ones.
Wow these are great snacks for the game! Everyone loved them!
I’m glad everyone liked them! They’re such a hit at parties.
I dunno, they kinda seem easy to burn… What if you overbake them?
I thought this was supposed to be a fun recipe but it took so long. 😒
I made them but forgot to preheat the oven! Guess I have pig mush. 😂
How could you forget to preheat? That’s like starting a race without tying your shoelaces! 😂
Oh no! That’s too funny! Maybe next time you’ll remember to preheat it. 😅
Not sure why people love these so much, but they’re fine. I like mine with mustard, ketchup, and maybe a little cheese dip. Nothing mind-blowing.
My kids devoured them! Perfect snack for game day. 😊
These were super easy to make! Me and my kids loved them! ❤️
I’m so glad to hear that! They really are a hit with kids. Perfect for a quick snack! 🍽️
Easy? Sounds too simple. Are they even good? I’ve tried similar but they never turn out nice.
I used hot dogs instead of sausages and they turned out great! Super easy. 👍
Hot dogs are def a good choice! I’m glad it worked out for you! 😄
Hey, that’s not how the recipe goes! Use sausages next time, please.
These are amazing! So easy and quick to make! Perfect for parties.
really simple n tasty! my kids love them. i put ketchup on the side.
375°F is my kind of cooking—simple. I baked until “golden brown” and that saved me because timing varies.
I think 12-15 is kinda short? Mine always needs like 18 min or they’re still pale. Also I don’t thaw the pastry, I just bake longer… is that bad lol
375°F and “golden brown” is the way to go—love that you emphasized timing varies. I usually start checking around 10-11 min too.
Not gonna lie, I didn’t thaw the pastry fully and it was kinda tough in the middle. If you do it right, it’s good, just be patient.
These are so easy to make! I love making them for parties.
Wow, so easy to whip up! 😍 I used bacon bits instead of sausages and it was YUM!
Bacon bits? That’s an interesting twist! I never would have thought of that. Do you think it changes the cooking time?
Yum! Used turkey sausages, still delicious! Gonna make again.
Meh. 12-15 mins is too short, I think. Still ate them tho.
Totally fair—12–15 mins can be a little tight depending on your oven and how thick your pastry is. I usually check for that deep golden brown (and if it’s still pale, I add another 2–3 mins). Glad you still ate them though 😄
These came out perfectly golden and flaky. I used thawed puff pastry and they were gone in minutes—great for a quick snack!
Not bad but they fell apart when I baked them. Any tips?
Pigs in a blanket?? More like pigs in a pastry disaster! Not a fan.
These were a hit at my party! Everyone loved them! 😍
Really? People loved them? I guess I’ll have to try, but I dunno if they’re all that great. 🙄
That’s awesome! I always thought these were so simple but they make such a big impression. 😄
I tried but my pastry turned out soggy. Followed the instructions exactly. What did I do wrong?
I’m confused by the ‘cut into triangles’ part—my crescent rolls don’t really roll into triangles. I just separated them and it worked, but the instructions are kinda vague.
I made these for my kids and they devoured them! Win-win!
That’s awesome! I love when things are a hit with the kids. How many batches did you make?
These r so good! I just eat them all my self.
I wasn’t sure if puff pastry was the right choice, but they turned out great! Delicious!
375°F seems a little low? Mine took closer to 20 minutes to brown. Also, I forgot to thaw the pastry fully and it was kind of tough in the middle—lesson learned.
These are super easy and the kids love them! Perfect for parties.
I made these for my son’s birthday party and they were a hit! Everyone loved them.
So easy to make! I used cheese dogs instead of sausages. Yummy!
My kids called them ‘sausage clouds’ which is… accurate? The pastry was light and delicious. I served with mustard and everyone went back for seconds.
Easy and kid-approved. I used crescent rolls instead and they were still great—just make sure not to overfill the triangles.
Totally agree—these are super easy and disappear fast with the kids. I did the same thing with crescent rolls and they browns up perfectly. Just like you said: don’t overstuff or they pop open.
Not bad, but 12-15 min felt a little short for my oven—next time I’ll check earlier at 10 and then add time if needed. Also I used puff pastry and mine weren’t as “golden” as the pics… still tasty though.
375°F seems low? I did 400°F and mine cooked faster, so maybe the timing is off depending on your oven. Would be nice if it said what “golden brown” looks like.
I dunno, seems too simple. Is it really worth making? I feel like they might just taste like bread.
I thought the same at first! But trust me, these are super tasty. The crispy pastry makes a big difference! Give it a shot!
1 tbsp egg wash?? I probably used like… 1 egg worth. They were still tasty. Not mad.
Just made these and they were gone in minutes! So delicious 😋
I’m skeptical about egg wash. I tried it anyway and honestly it’s fine—just feels a little extra. Still good though.
I don’t get why people like these. Tastes like cardboard.
Love it! But my dog thinks they are for him. 😂
I dunno, my cat wouldn’t touch those. He has weird taste. 😂
Haha, that’s so cute! Dogs just know what smells good! 🐶
Great snack for movie night! 😋
Absolutely! These are perfect for movie night! 🎬
I dunno, they look kinda easy but I feel like they’ll burn or something… 🤔
Are you supposed to use frozen or thawed? Confused!
Just okay. Maybe I’m not a puff pastry fan? Have you tried with biscuit dough?
