These crispy mini hot dog pigs in blankets are perfect for game day snacks, featuring a flaky crescent roll dough wrapped around juicy mini hot dogs with a tangy stadium mustard twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 mini hot dogs (cocktail-sized)
  • 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons stadium mustard
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick sheet.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Press the seams gently to seal so you have one large sheet.
  3. Cut the dough into 24 thin strips about 1 inch wide and 5 inches long using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  4. Spread a thin layer of stadium mustard along each dough strip.
  5. Place one mini hot dog at the end of each strip and roll the dough around the hot dog snugly but not too tight.
  6. Place the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  7. Melt the butter and lightly brush each pig in blanket with it. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika on top.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm with extra stadium mustard on the side for dipping.

Notes

Keep crescent dough cold before working to prevent tearing. Brush with melted butter for a golden, crispy finish. Do not roll dough too tightly around hot dogs to allow puffing. Place seam-side down on baking sheet to keep closed. Check baking near end to avoid burning. For gluten-free, use gluten-free puff pastry; for dairy-free, use vegan dough and olive oil instead of butter. Can be baked in air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
