Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 12 mini sausages
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Open the crescent roll dough package and unroll the dough on a clean, lightly floured surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Cut each crescent roll triangle into three smaller triangular sections to create more manageable wrapping pieces.
- Take a mini sausage and wrap each one completely with a small triangle of crescent roll dough, ensuring the dough covers the entire sausage and the edges are pinched to seal.
- Arrange the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each to allow even cooking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey and Dijon mustard to create a sweet and tangy glaze.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat each wrapped sausage with the honey-mustard glaze, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the sausages are heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. The glaze will be extremely hot, so handle with care.
- Transfer the glazed pigs in blanket to a serving platter. Optionally, drizzle any remaining glaze over the top for extra flavor.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or party snack. Best enjoyed immediately while the pastry is crisp and the glaze is still slightly sticky.
Tips
- Use cold dough for easier handling and cleaner wrapping
- Cut crescent roll triangles into smaller sections for neater, more uniform wrapping
- Pinch the edges of the dough tightly to prevent unraveling during baking
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - leave space between each piece for even cooking
- Brush the glaze on in layers for a more intense flavor and glossy finish
- Serve immediately for the best texture - crispy pastry and sticky-sweet glaze
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds or fresh chopped herbs before baking
- If you want a spicier version, add a dash of red pepper flakes to the honey-mustard glaze
