Pigs in a Blanket are one of the easiest comfort and party foods to make using a variety of cheese, refrigerated crescent rolls and everything bagel spice. You can whip up a batch of these delicious lunch and snack party dogs in a matter of minutes. I love to serve the mini dogs at my parties with Hot Shrimp Dip, Easy Taco Dip, and Potato Skins. They are so easy that even the kids can help with rolling them.

How To Make pigs in a blanket

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • 2
    Cut a slit in the hotdogs that you want to add cheese to. The slit should be fairly deep but not go through to the bottom. Add a small sliver of cheese.
  • 3
    Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter divide each crescent roll into thirds making three long thin triangles. Place one mini dog on the widest part of each triangle and roll up towards the point. Place on prepared baking sheets seam side down.
  • 4
    Beat the egg and water together thoroughly. Lightly brush over the crescent roll portion of the pigs in a blanket being careful not to let it puddle up around them. If desired sprinkle with everything bagel spice.
