For an extra crispy texture, consider lightly brushing the pepperoni slices with olive oil before wrapping them around the franks. Experiment with different types of mustard, such as Dijon or honey mustard, to complement the flavors of the pepperoni and franks. These pepperoni pigs in a blanket can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake, making them perfect for parties and gatherings.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare your baking station: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
StepChill the dough: Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 triangles and arrange them on the prepared sheet pan. Place the pan in the freezer to firm up the dough for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to cut and handle.
03
StepCut the dough: On a cutting board, start with the longest and straightest side of a dough triangle and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut 3 strips approximately 1-inch wide. Then, cut each strip into roughly 2-inch lengths. Aim for 6 wrappable pieces from each triangle of dough to yield 48 pigs in a blanket. If necessary, press small end pieces and trimmings together to create more 2-inch strips. If the dough becomes too warm and soft, return it to the freezer for a few minutes to firm up. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
04
StepPreheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepAssemble the pigs: Wrap each cocktail frank with a slice of pepperoni and place it on one end of a dough strip. Roll the dough up, ensuring the seam is on the bottom. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients. (Prep time: 20 minutes)
06
StepArrange and garnish: Place the assembled pigs in a blanket on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a 6x8 pattern, leaving a small amount of space between them, for a total of 48. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
07
StepBake to golden perfection: Bake in the preheated oven until beautifully golden brown, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
08
StepServe and enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite mustard or a quick mustard sauce. For a simple mustard sauce, combine equal parts mayonnaise and mustard. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
