Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 16-ounce log pork breakfast sausage, such as Jimmy Dean, chilled
4 slices deli ham (about 2 1/2 ounces)
One 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent dough, such as Pillsbury
1 large egg, beaten with a splash of water
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Honey mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Remove the plastic packaging from the sausage while keeping it together in its original shape. On a work surface, gently roll the sausage log back and forth into a 10-inch log. Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet and bake until browned and cooked to 155 degrees F, about 25 minutes; transfer the sausage to paper towels to drain. Discard the parchment and reline the baking sheet with a new piece.
  • Arrange the ham slices side by side and overlapping by 1 inch on a cutting board to form a 9-inch-long rectangle. Place the sausage log parallel to one long end of the rectangle and roll the sausage up in the ham. Place the crescent dough sheet on a cutting board and pinch the perforated seams closed so the dough is solid. Arrange the ham-wrapped sausage parallel with one short end of the dough sheet and roll it so that the dough wraps around the sausage completely.
  • Transfer the pastry-wrapped sausage to the prepared baking sheet seam-side down, brush with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Serve with honey mustard for dipping.

PIGS IN A BLANKET



Pigs in a Blanket image

For decades, pigs in a blanket have been a staple on the cocktail-party circuit. The little sausages are the easy part. It's the pastry which, at its finest, should approximate buttery, flaky French puff pastry or pâte feuilletée. Suppose you could make decently flaky puff pastry in minutes? Christian Leue, the manager of La Boîte, a spice emporium in New York, has developed just such a marvel. And it works.

Categories     easy, snack, finger foods, appetizer

Time 3h30m

Yield 48 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sticks salted butter, frozen
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
48 cocktail franks
Flour, for rolling
Mustard, for dipping

Steps:

  • Make the pastry: Cut each stick of frozen butter into four pieces and grate using a shredding disc in a food processor. Change to the regular blade. Add the 1 1/2 cups flour and pulse 15 or 20 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and pulse until the dough comes together. (This can also be done by hand, using a box grater to shred the butter, working the flour into it with your fingertips or a fork, then mixing in the sour cream.)
  • Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten each piece. Place each in a zipper-top sandwich bag, press out any air, seal the bag and use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it fills the bag, forming a square. Refrigerate two hours or overnight.
  • Make the pigs in a blanket: Heat a 10-inch skillet, preferably cast-iron, on medium. If your cocktail franks came in a plastic package, pat them dry on paper towels. Place the franks in the pan and cook, turning, frequently, until they're lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Remove dough from sandwich bags by cutting the bags and peeling them off. Roll each square of dough on a lightly floured board into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle that is about 1/8-inch thick. Cut each into four 9-by-3-inch strips, then cut each strip crosswise into six 1 1/2-inch sections. You should have 48 rectangles that are each 1 1/2 by 3 inches.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Place a cocktail frank on each piece of dough, across the rectangle so the longer side can be wrapped around the frank. Roll the dough around the frank, moisten the edge with water and press closed. Place each wrapped frank seam side down on the baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Serve at once or let cool and refrigerate or freeze, then let come to room temperature and warm at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve with mustard alongside for dipping.

PIGS IN A BLANKET FOR BIG KIDS....ALSO CALLED HOGS IN A SLEEPING



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

My mother used to make these for card parties. I make them on those nights when the hubby and I want munchies and not a big meal. I have also made them for football parties, and people love them. They are super easy, but really tasty. Some tasty sausage choices are the chicken habanero with jack cheese, jalapeno and cheese, turkey n cheddar, or just regular smoked sausage. You will find them over next to the hot dogs, and there are usually 4 or 5 to a package (Johnsonville or Bistro Sensations are good).

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed if frozen
Nonstick cooking spray
4 reduced-fat hot dogs, such as Ball Park Lite Beef Franks, each cut into 3 pieces
2 tablespoons skim milk
5 slices 2% reduced-fat cheddar singles, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon reduced-sugar ketchup, such as Heinz
2 teaspoons yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside.
  • Lay 1 sheet of phyllo on a work surface (cover the remaining phyllo with a slightly damp kitchen towel to keep it from drying out). Spray the phyllo sheet generously with cooking spray. Top with another sheet of phyllo. Spray the second sheet of phyllo with cooking spray. Cut the phyllo stack lengthwise into 3 strips (each strip should measure about 3x9 inches). Place 1 piece of hot dog at the end of each strip. Fold the sides of the phyllo in to overlap the edges of the hot dog pieces. Roll the hot dogs up tightly to encase them in phyllo. Place the rolled hot dogs, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining hot dogs and phyllo. When all of the hot-dog packages have been assembled, spray them lightly with cooking spray, and bake until they are golden brown and crispy, about 16 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the milk to a boil in a small nonstick saucepan over high heat. Add the cheese and whisk until it melts. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth. Whisk in the ketchup and mustard.
  • Serve the hot dogs with the warm sauce for dipping.

HOGS IN BLANKETS

We've all had the pigs in a blanket (the little smoked sausages wrapped in crescent rolls) but this is a little different twist--sausages wrapped in pancakes......yummy! This recipe comes from recipetips.com.

Provided by Queen Puff

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 6 blankets, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 sausage links
2 cups pancake mix
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 cup pancake syrup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • Cook sausage according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, make pancake mix using 2 cups of pancake mix and 1 1/2 cups of milk. You want the pancake to be thinner than normal. They are easier to wrap around the sausage when they are thinner.

  • Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Make 12 pancakes or however many sausage you have.
  • Cook pancakes until golden brown.
  • Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • To add flavor to the pigs in a blanket, try using different types of sausage, such as Italian sausage, chorizo, or breakfast sausage.
  • You can also add cheese, cooked vegetables, or herbs to the filling.
  • If you don't have crescent roll dough, you can use puff pastry dough instead.

Conclusion:

Pigs in a blanket are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage or cheese. With endless variations to suit any taste, you can create a delightful experience for your family and friends with each bite.
