Yield and Total Time: Yield: 24 pieces Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 24 cocktail sausages
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional: whole-grain mustard for dipping
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
a. Unroll the Dough: Take your crescent roll dough out of the package and lay it out on a clean surface. If the dough comes in perforated triangles, press the seams together to create a solid sheet of dough.
b. Spread the Cream Cheese: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Spread an even layer of cream cheese over the entire surface of the crescent roll dough. This is the secret ingredient that adds a creamy richness to each bite.
c. Cut and Wrap: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 24 smaller rectangles. Place a cocktail sausage at the short end of each rectangle and roll it up, ensuring the dough fully wraps around the sausage. Arrange the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
d. Egg Wash and Bagel Seasoning: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the tops of each wrapped sausage. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning generously over the egg-washed dough, ensuring each piece is coated in the flavorful mix.
e. Bake to Perfection: Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. The aroma will be irresistible – prepare for the ultimate sensory experience!
f. Serve and Dip: Once out of the oven, let the Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket cool for a minute. Arrange them on a platter, and if you’re feeling fancy, serve them with a side of whole-grain mustard for dipping.
