These glazed pigs in a blanket are a quick and easy appetizer featuring mini cocktail sausages wrapped in buttery crescent dough and coated with a sticky, sweet-savory glaze. Perfect for last-minute gatherings and crowd-pleasing entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 mini cocktail sausages
  • 1 can (8 oz / 226 g) crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, yellow mustard, honey, melted butter, and black pepper until smooth and shiny.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and press perforations together to form one large sheet. Slice into 24 equal strips about 1 inch wide.
  4. Wrap each mini sausage with a strip of dough, rolling tightly but not too tight. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  5. Brush the glaze generously over each wrapped sausage. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top if using.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes until dough is golden brown and slightly puffed, and glaze is caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature dough for easier handling. Brush glaze while pigs are warm for better absorption and sticky finish. If glaze is too thick, add a splash of warm water to loosen. Tent with foil if dough browns too quickly. Variations include adding sriracha for spice, cheese inside dough, or using vegetarian sausages. Can prepare ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
