Easy Pigs In a Blanket

According to the American Heritage dictionary, pigs in a blanket are made with hot dogs, Vienna sausages, or sausage links. Typically, the sausage or hot dog is wrapped in croissant dough or biscuits. This recipe is for a quick breakfast or appetizer at a party. This is also a finger food, so sometimes they are made in a small size to be eaten by using one’s fingers rather than using a knife and fork. They can be made ahead of time and frozen until needed, so it is commonly served at many parties or potlucks. I will introduce this recipe using store-bought biscuits.

Ingredients:

1 can of jumbo biscuit dough (any brand that you prefer)

8 hot dogs

1 cup grated cheese (I use the 5 Mexican Fiesta Blend cheese)

2 tbs melted butter

 Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°.

Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Rollout the biscuit dough in oval shapes and flatten each of them.

Add 2 tbs grated cheese onto the biscuit dough and then top with a hot dog. 

Roll dough around each hot dog, pinching to seal and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush each with melted butter and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Serve warm.
