Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack (8-count) crescent rolls
- 1/2 pack (4-count) crescent rolls
- 1 pack (14 oz) lit’l smokies sausages
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon spicy dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsps rich brown sugar
- 1 tbsp classic worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF and prepare a 9×13-inch baking tray with non-stick spray.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and spread a thin layer of dijon mustard on each triangle. Cut each triangle lengthwise into three narrow strips.
- Place a sausage at the wide end of each narrow triangle and carefully roll it up, ensuring a snug wrap.
- Arrange the wrapped sausages systematically on the prepared baking tray.
- In a saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, additional dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds. Heat until the mixture becomes bubbly and well-integrated.
- Pour the glaze evenly over the wrapped sausages, ensuring complete coverage.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and enticing aroma that signals perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving these delectable glazed pigs in a blanket.
Notes
- Transform triangular crescent rolls into three thin strips for more servings and easier handling.
- Spread dijon mustard before wrapping sausages to enhance depth of flavor and create a zesty undertone.
- Brush glaze generously before and midway through baking to develop rich caramelization and prevent dryness.
- Experiment with different sausage types like cocktail, turkey, or vegetarian options to accommodate dietary preferences and create variety.
