What are Pigs in a Blanket?

Pigs in a Blanket are essentially hot dogs or sausages wrapped in pastry. For a full meal, you can use standard-sized hot dogs, or for an appetizer, cocktail weiners, also known as “Lil’ Smokies,” are ideal. These are precooked miniature smoked sausages, typically made from a blend of pork and beef, and are conveniently sized for bite-sized treats.

Enhance the flavor with Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and bits of brown sugar mixed into the butter. This combination is not only delicious but also a crowd-pleaser at any gathering!

What Makes This Recipe Special?

This recipe enhances the traditional Pigs in a Blanket by incorporating a few simple tweaks:

• Before wrapping, the pastry is brushed with mustard to infuse flavor from the inside. This subtle addition enhances the sausage flavor without overwhelming those who are not fans of mustard. If you love mustard, feel free to add extra or include it in the dipping sauce.
• The pastry tops are not left plain but are instead brushed with egg white to hold seasoning—adding an attractive sheen. I prefer Everything Bagel seasoning for its robust flavor, but you can choose any herb or seasoning blend. Alternatively, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and Parmesan for a garlic twist.

Variations of Pigs in a Blanket:

Pigs in a blanket vary widely. The classic version involves pork sausage wrapped in pre-made croissant dough, but variations include hot dogs, ham, and vegetarian options. They can be baked with sweet glazes like brown sugar and cinnamon or savory ones featuring herbs and Parmesan.
