Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) tube crescent roll dough, separated into triangles
• 24 beef little smokies
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

Ingredient Notes

• Beef little smokies replace traditional pork to fit dietary needs.
• Crescent dough sheets also work—just cut into small rectangles.
• Use unsalted butter to avoid an overly salty finish.

How to Make Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket

1. Prep the baking sheets
   Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Preheat your oven to 375°F so it’s ready when the dough is prepared.
2. Cut the dough
   Unroll the crescent dough and separate along the perforations. Cut each triangle into three smaller triangles to fit the mini sausages.
3. Wrap the smokies
   Pat the beef little smokies dry so the dough sticks well. Wrap each one tightly in a small triangle of dough, pressing the edges to seal.
4. Season and bake
   Place each wrapped smokie seam-side down on the prepared sheets, leaving space between them. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.
5. Bake and serve
   Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or your favorite dipping sauces.
