Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package (14 oz) mini smoked sausages
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough
Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the pigs in a blanket.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into the triangular segments as indicated on the packaging.
- Cut Triangles: Cut each large triangle into three smaller triangles to create appropriately sized dough pieces for wrapping the mini sausages.
- Wrap Sausages: Take one mini smoked sausage and wrap it tightly with one of the small dough triangles, ensuring it is fully encased. Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the wrapped sausages in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Make Glaze: While the pigs in a blanket bake, combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce in a small bowl and mix well to create a smooth glaze.
- Brush Glaze: Remove the baked pigs in a blanket from the oven and generously brush the honey glaze over each one, coating them evenly.
- Set Glaze: Return the glazed pigs in a blanket to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the glaze to set and become sticky.
- Serve Warm: Take them out of the oven and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute mini smoked sausages with cocktail wieners if preferred.
- For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the honey mixture.
- Make sure to seal the dough edges well around the sausages to prevent unwrapping during baking.
- Serve with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- The glaze can be prepared in advance and brushed just before the final bake step.
