About Pigs in a blanket

Pigs in a Blanket are a popular comfort food consisting of small sausages or hot dogs wrapped in crescent dough, puff pastry, or biscuit dough and baked until golden brown. Originating from European cuisine, with variations found in the UK and Denmark, this dish has become a staple appetizer or snack in American homes and gatherings. The savory flavors, flaky texture, and bite-sized portions make it an indulgent treat. While rich in protein from the sausages, the dish is typically high in sodium and saturated fats. The dough adds carbs, though whole-grain alternatives can boost fiber content. For a healthier version, lean meats like turkey or chicken sausages and reduced-fat pastry can be substituted to lower calorie and fat intake while maintaining the dish’s signature appeal. Perfect for parties or casual meals, this nostalgic favorite combines simplicity and satisfying flavor.
