Key Ingredients

When it comes to selecting the perfect ingredients for this recipe, there are a few key factors to keep in mind. First, choose a high-quality sausage that’s flavorful and juicy. We recommend using a classic pork sausage or a more adventurous option like chorizo or applewood-smoked sausage. For the pastry, you’ll want to use a pre-made croissant dough that’s flaky and buttery.

In addition to the sausage and pastry, you’ll also need a few pantry staples like salt, pepper, and butter. We recommend using unsalted butter to avoid adding too much salt to the dish. Fresh parsley or thyme can also be used to add a pop of color and freshness to the finished dish.

Level:
Easy

Prep:
15 min

Cook:
25 min

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

1 (8 oz) package of croissant dough, thawed

4 sausage links (pork or chorizo), casings removed

1/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Roll out the croissant dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut into 4 equal pieces.

Place a sausage link in the center of each piece of dough. Brush the edges with the beaten egg for a golden glaze.

Fold the dough over the sausage, pressing the edges to seal. Use a knife or pastry brush to create a decorative edge.

Place the pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each. Brush with the softened butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Storage & Reheating

To store leftovers, allow the pigs in a blanket to cool completely on a wire rack. Then, place them in an airtight container or plastic bag and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
