Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the croissant dough package. This is usually around 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Open the Croissant Dough. Open the refrigerated can of croissant dough and carefully unroll it. You’ll find 12 triangular pieces of dough.

Step 3: Cut the Dough. Cut along the perforated lines of the dough triangles to make 24 smaller triangles. This will provide enough dough to wrap around each mini sausage.

Step 4: Wrap the Sausages. Take one of the smaller dough triangles and place a mini sausage at the wide end of the triangle. Roll the dough around the sausage. Repeat with all the sausages and dough triangles.

Step 5: Egg Wash. In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Using a pastry brush or your fingers, lightly brush each wrapped sausage with the beaten egg. This will help the dough brown nicely during baking.

Step 6: Sprinkle Poppy Seeds. Sprinkle poppy seeds over the egg-washed dough-wrapped sausages. This adds a pleasant visual appeal and a subtle nutty flavor.

Step 7: Arrange on Baking Sheet. Place the prepared mini piggies in a blanket on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each one to allow for even baking.

Step 8: Bake in the Oven. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until the piggies in a blanket are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

Step 9: Serve. Once baked, remove the mini piggies in a blanket from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Enjoy your delicious homemade mini piggies in a blanket as a delightful appetizer or snack! Mini Piggies in a Blanket may be small, but they deliver big smiles every time. Serve them up and watch them disappear faster than you can say “snack attack!”
