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!
