Ready to elevate a classic favorite? This Savory Herb Pigs in a Blanket recipe offers a delightful twist on the traditional snack, blending fragrant herbs with a touch of honey-mustard sweetness. Ideal for gatherings or a cozy night in, these treats are sure to become a staple in your appetizer repertoire.
The magic begins with a can of refrigerated crescent roll dough, which serves as the buttery, flaky base for our pigs in a blanket. Using mini smoked sausage links gives that classic savory bite. The addition of Dijon mustard and honey creates a glaze that's both tangy and sweet, perfect for complementing the smokiness of the sausages. Dried rosemary and garlic powder infuse the rolls with an herbaceous aroma, while a sprinkle of ground black pepper adds a subtle kick. Finally, a brush of melted butter and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley give a rich finish and a pop of color.
These savory herb pigs in a blanket pair beautifully with a variety of sauces, such as a spicy Sriracha mayo or a classic ketchup. For a more substantial spread, serve them alongside a fresh green salad or a creamy potato salad. They also make a great addition to a brunch buffet or a game-day snack lineup.
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper so you’re ready to go. In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard and honey to create a simple yet tasty glaze.
Roll out your crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into triangles. Now, brush each triangle generously with your honey-mustard concoction. This will not only add flavor but also help the herbs stick.
Sprinkle the triangles with dried rosemary, garlic powder, and black pepper, ensuring each piece has a nice even coating of flavor. Take one mini smoked sausage link and place it at the wide end of a triangle, then roll it up snugly towards the tip.
Place each wrapped sausage on the prepared baking sheet with a bit of space in between to allow for even baking. Brush the tops with melted butter, which will give them a beautiful golden color, and finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for that fresh, herby touch.
Pop them in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Serve them warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
