Best Smoked Cheese In Blankets Recipes

Pigs in a Blanket for Big Kids....also Called Hogs in a Sleeping image

Provided by CookingBlues

Time 20m

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (8 ounce) package Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls, regular or reduced fat
4 smoked sausage, any flavor

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375.
Open the crescent rolls and separate them down the lines into the triangles.
Cut the sausages in half so you have 8 pieces.
Start with the tall side of the triangle. Roll the sausage in the crescent dough, tucking the bottom point up when you start to roll. You should finish with the point. My Dad said they looked like they were wrapped up in a sleeping bag -- hence the name he gave them "Hogs in a Sleeping Bag" since it was the big smoked sausage.
Bake them on a cookie sheet at 375 for 11-13 minutes, or until the crescnet rolls are golden.
You can serve them with spicy mustard, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Time 1h50m

Yield Makes 54

Number Of Ingredients 8

All-purpose flour, for surface
2 sheets puff pastry (about 1 pound), preferably all-butter
Honey Dijon mustard
18 fully cooked sausages (each about 5 inches long), such as frankfurters, Andouille, or chicken sausages
1 large egg, beaten
Poppy seeds, for sprinkling (optional)
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling (optional)
Mustards, such as brown or whole-grain, for serving (optional)

Steps:

On a lightly floured work surface, roll each pastry sheet out into a 12-inch square, then cut into 4-inch squares. Lightly brush lower half of each square with mustard, center a sausage on mustard-coated edge, and brush top inch with egg. Roll sausages in pastry, pressing seams to tightly seal. Brush tops with egg, then sprinkle with poppy seeds or flaky salt. Cut each at an angle into thirds. Freeze pigs in blankets, uncovered, on a parchment-lined baking sheet until firm.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place frozen pigs in blankets 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve warm with mustards.
