Pigs In A Blanket

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.

2. 2

   Open both cans of Pillsbury crescent rolls and unroll the dough. Separate the dough into the pre-cut triangles (there will be 16 total from two cans).

3. 3

   Cut each triangle crosswise into 3 equal strips (from the wide end toward the point) to yield 48 small dough strips.

4. 4

   Place a mini cocktail smokie on the wide end of a dough strip. Roll the dough around the smokie toward the tip so the seam is on the bottom. Repeat with the remaining smokies and dough strips, placing each wrapped smokie on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

5. 5

   Beat the egg in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush or spoon, lightly brush the top of each wrapped smokie with the beaten egg.

6. 6

   Sprinkle sesame seeds and/or poppy seeds over the egg-washed tops. If using, sprinkle the coarse salt sparingly on top (optional).

7. 7

   Bake on the center oven rack for about 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Serve warm (for example, with mustard or ketchup).
