A Sweet & Savory Take on Pigs in a Blanket

I’ll just confess that everyone in my house LOVES pigs in a blanket. Consequently we make them in a bunch of different ways, but this version is my personal favorite!

It’s the honey mustard for me. Just enough spice, sweet, and sticky decadence to take these straight to game-day legend status.

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tbsp honey mustard
  • Dash of paprika
  • Dash of garlic powder
  • 1 can crescent dough sheet (or one can of crescent rolls – just push the seams together)*
  • 1 package of beef cocktail sausages

* Note: One sheet of puff pastry works too!

Let’s Cook!

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a small sauce pan.
  • Brush an 8 inch springform pan with some of the melted butter.
  • Brush the outside of a small oven-proof ramekin (3 or 4 inches) with butter and place in the middle of the pan.
  • Stir the honey mustard, paprika, and garlic into the remaining butter (if the butter starts to solidify, just pop it back in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds and give it a stir).
  • Unroll the crescent dough sheet and cut into 32 even-ish pieces (precision not required).
  • Brush with a healthy coating of the honey mustard mix.
  • Place one frank in a piece of dough and wrap it up.
  • Stack them in two rings in the springform pan.
  • Brush with the leftover mustard mix over the rings to give it everything a nice glaze.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the crescents are nice and golden brown.

Cool for a couple minutes before adding your favorite mustard in the ramekin to serve. Watch them disappear before your eyes!

Eat well friends!
