Pig in Blanket is a classic dish found in various cuisines, often enjoyed as an appetizer or snack. Traditionally, it consists of a small sausage or hot dog wrapped in dough, such as crescent roll pastry or biscuit dough, and baked until golden. Its origins are debated, with variations popular in American, British, and European cuisines. While it provides a source of protein from the sausage, it can also be high in fats, sodium, and refined carbohydrates depending on the ingredients used. Healthier options may include turkey or plant-based sausages, whole-grain dough, and reduced-sodium recipes. Pig in Blanket is often served during holidays, parties, or special gatherings, cherished for its savory flavor and simple preparation. Opting for smaller portions and pairing it with nutrient-rich sides can balance its indulgent character within a meal.
