Ingredients
- 6 pieces thick sausages
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Step 2
Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles following the perforated lines.
Step 3
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush both sides of each dough triangle with the melted butter. Sprinkle a small pinch of garlic powder onto each one for added flavor.
Step 4
Wrap each dough triangle around the middle section of a sausage, leaving each end of the sausage exposed. Press the edges of the dough firmly to seal the wrap around the sausage.
Step 5
Place the wrapped sausages onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and puffed.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the Blanket in a Pig cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as mustard or ketchup, and enjoy!
