Ingredients

• 1 can (8 ounces) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 24 pieces Mini cocktail sausages
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with a tablespoon of all-purpose flour to prevent the dough from sticking.

Step 3

Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto the floured surface. Separate the dough into 8 pre-cut triangles, and then cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles, resulting in 24 pieces.

Step 4

Brush a light coat of barbecue sauce on the wider end of each triangle.

Step 5

Place one mini cocktail sausage at the wider end of each triangle, then roll it up towards the pointed end to form the 'blanket.'

Step 6

Arrange the rolled sausages on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top of each pig in a blanket to give them a golden, glossy finish.

Step 8

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each (if desired) for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with additional barbecue sauce for dipping, if desired.
