Pigs in a Blanket

Pigs in a Blanket Recipe by Kelli Foster from The Kitchn.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon water
• 1 (12- to 14-ounce) package of cocktail-sized smoked sausages or little smokies
• 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
• Flaky salt or everything bagel spice, for sprinkling (optional)

Directions

1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 375ºF. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together an egg and the water in a small bowl until combined. 
3. Pat the sausages or little smokies dry with paper towels.
4. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a work surface. Separate the dough along the perforated seams into 8 triangles. 
5. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow triangles.
6. Place 1 sausage at the wide end of a dough triangle. Roll towards the pointed end, wrapping the dough around the sausage and allowing the dough to overlap. 
7. Place all of the rolled pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet with some space in between each.
8. Brush the tops and sides of the dough with a thin layer of egg wash and top with flaky salt or everything bagel spice (if desired).
9. Bake until the dough is puffed and golden brown which will take approximately 13 to 15 minutes.
10. Serve warm with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
