Best Pigs in a Blanket Recipe Using Puff Pastry!
Looking for an easy snack or appetizer idea everyone will enjoy?!
Pigs in a blanket are a baked pastry-wrapped hot dog idea that is so underrated, and yet I always tend to forget about this fun snack until I am at a party that has them served up or at a restaurant that does!
Watch this Instagram video to see how easy they are to make!
They are perfect as a game-day snack or as a super easy meal that my kids will eat without complaints.
So today I’m sharing my favorite way to make classic pigs in a blanket! Instead of refrigerated crescent dough, try using a sheet of flaky, buttery puff pastry for a slightly more grown-up gourmet approach! The result is an irresistible hot dog snack and it’s so easy to make.
I also used an egg wash and added Everything Bagel seasoning to the top for another burst of flavor, but that part is optional! I highly recommend dipping your piggy in some grainy mustard for an over-the-top delicious pig in a blanket experience.

Tips for making the best pigs in a blanket:
-
- Puff pastry is such a versatile ingredient that can be used in sweet or savory dishes. It’s found in the freezer aisle, usually with the frozen pies and desserts.
-
- You’ll have a sheet leftover that you can save for another recipe like this yummy baked brie appetizer, or buy two packs of hot dogs and double this pigs in a blanket idea!
-
- If you don’t have Everything Bagel seasoning, make your own blend or use sesame seeds or poppyseeds instead.
-
- For easy clean-up, line your baking sheet pan with parchment paper first.
-
- If you happen to have leftovers, they are wonderful reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes!

Ingredients
Directions
1
About 15 minutes before starting this recipe, get out your pastry sheet from the freezer, and let it defrost on the counter until soft.
2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prep a sheet pan with parchment paper.
3
Onto a floured surface, roll out the pastry sheet using a rolling pin so the dough is a little thinner (spread to about 16x12 inches).
4
Cut the pastry into 12 squares. Cut each hot dog in half.
5
Roll each hot dog in the pastry and set it on the sheet pan with the seam side down, making sure there's a little room in between each.
6
Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk it. Use a kitchen brush to brush the tops of each rolled hot dog.
7
Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning onto the tops of each rolled hot dog.
8
Bake for around 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed and slightly browned.
9
Enjoy warm with some spicy mustard, or any desired condiment! The recipe makes 12 pigs in a blanket.
The flaky puff pastry and roasted hot dog combo is SUCH a winner! These were gone in a flash with my hungry crew. I can’t wait to make a few batches of puff pastry pigs in a blanket for future parties and gatherings. Enjoy!
Here’s what my teammate Jenna thought about these easy pigs in a blanket:
“I am totally obsessed with using puff pastry! I keep a box on hand in the freezer at all times because it is just so easy to use and so versatile! This was the perfect use for it! The kids and I loved these! They were so easy for dipping in our favorite mustard and were simple to put together.”
