“Pigs in a Blanket”

Going to a party or feeding a bunch of freeloaders at home? This is the quintessential party food recipe, and it doesn’t really get any easier than this…  Takes about 15 minutes to prep and 15 minutes or so to bake.

pigs in a blanket Pigs in a BlanketIngredients

  • 1 lb package of cocktail weenies (plain or smoked, I prefer smoked)
  • 1 can of ready-made croissant dough

What you do with it

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (f)

Pop open and prepare to roll out the dough. Each Croissant is already perforated in a triangle shape, but that’s too big for our needs here.

For each Croissant triangle, take it, lay it on a plate, then cut it first in half, then cut each smaller half again down the middle. This means each Croissant triangle should make four equally cut triangles (enough to wrap around four individual weenies).

Take a Croissant slice, wrap it around a weenie, stick it on a baking pan.

Once you’ve done them all, stick the pan in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, checking regularly to make sure they brown but don’t burn..

Like I said, simple. Good, and a treat I’ve even been known to make myself for dinner.
