Little Smokies Pigs In A Blanket (With Crescent Rolls) 2026

These Little Smokies Pigs in a Blanket are cute, delicious, and always a crowd favorite. With just four simple ingredients—mini sausages (Lil Smokies), crescent roll dough, an egg, and everything bagel seasoning—you can make this classic party appetizer in no time. They’re perfect for parties, game nights, or as a tasty Super Bowl snack.

The best part is how quick and easy they are to prepare. Everything bagel seasoning adds a flavorful, attractive finish that makes these little bites look much more impressive than the effort they require. They take less than 20 minutes to prepare and are so popular that you probably won’t have to worry about leftovers.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Crescent Dough: Use one package of crescent roll dough. Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls work well for this recipe. If you use crescent dough that is not pre-cut, roll it out and cut it into small triangles so you get the right balance of dough and sausage in every bite.
• Little Cocktail Weenies: Hillshire Farm Lit’l Smokies are a great choice, and you can use the original, beef, or turkey varieties. Avoid regular hot dogs as a substitute because they are larger and have a different flavor and texture.
• Egg: Mix one egg with a little water to create an egg wash. Brushing it over the wrapped sausages helps the seasoning stick and gives the crescent dough a beautiful golden-brown finish. If you do not have an egg, lightly brush the dough with water.
• Everything Bagel Seasoning: Everything bagel seasoning adds extra flavor and makes these little appetizers look more special. If you prefer, you can replace it with shredded cheddar cheese or simply leave the tops plain.

How to make Little Smokies Pigs In A Blanket

Step 1 | Cut the Crescent Rolls

Pinch the seams of two crescent dough triangles together to create a rectangle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the dough into six smaller triangles. This size gives you a good balance of buttery crescent dough and mini sausage in every bite.

Step 2 | Wrap the Little Sausages

Place one mini sausage on each small piece of crescent dough. Roll the dough around the sausage and gently pinch the seam to keep it closed. Arrange the wrapped sausages in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3 | Egg Wash

In a small bowl, beat one large egg with one tablespoon of water until combined. Brush a light layer of the egg wash over each pig in a blanket, then sprinkle the tops with everything bagel seasoning.

Step 4 | Bake or Air Fry

For the oven method, bake the Little Smokies Pigs in a Blanket at 350°F for 17–19 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked. For the air fryer, cook them at 325°F for 5–6 minutes, checking them toward the end to prevent over-browning.

Tip

Air fryers can cook at slightly different speeds, so keep an eye on the pigs in a blanket the first time you make them. Check them around the 5-minute mark to make sure the crescent dough does not become overcooked.

How to Store

Place leftover pigs in a blanket in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 4 days. To reheat them, use the microwave, oven, or air fryer at around 300°F until warmed through.

The microwave will make the crescent dough softer, while reheating them in an oven or air fryer helps keep the outside crisp and golden.

Other Toppings for Crescent Roll Pigs

• Cheddar Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the wrapped sausages before baking. You can skip the egg wash because the cheese will stick to the dough as it melts.
• Sliced Fresh Jalapeños: Add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick. Keep the seeds for more heat, or remove them for a milder jalapeño flavor.

Favorite Dipping Sauces

Give your guests a few dipping sauce options so everyone can choose their favorite.

• Mustard: Yellow mustard and Dijon mustard both pair nicely with the savory mini sausages. Honey mustard is another option for those who prefer a sweeter flavor.
• BBQ Sauce
• Garlic Butter
• Queso
