Pigs In A Blanket
Is it really a party without them? Little wieners stuffed into a crispy shell of pastry with an irresistible dipping sauce? And they’re so easy to make. Thanks to the makers of crescent dough. And they’re so easy to eat. Perfect finger food. You don’t even need to balance a plate.
Dressed Up Pigs In A Blanket
Why not dress up those pigs in a blanket, put some lipstick on them and take them out on the town.
This recipe uses sliced andouille sausage and puff pastry instead of the obligatory Pillsbury crescent dough.
And instead of a dunk in mustard, this sausage in a blanket appetizer recipe doesn’t dunk at all, but right after they are baked, are glazed with a chutney and whole grain mustard combination. = DEE-licious.
We all love a good sweet and salty combination.

These still sound as good as they did a few years ago!
How can you go wrong with sausage and pastry? 🙂
These would be a hit at any game day party!
Love the twist to a fan favorite! And that glaze makes them look even more amazing.
Andouille sausage? Yes. Please. 🙂 Used to love pigs in a blanket when I was a kid. Haven’t made them in years. Decades! Need to again. With andouille, definitely.
These are going on my Super Bowl Buffet! Great idea.

I didn’t think pigs in a blanket could be improved upon, but you’ve proven me wrong. Love the andouille, love the puff pastry. This would be fabulous served on silver trays by waiters wearing white gloves. Or on my wooden serving board with my favorite mustard.
I have never heard of Hogs in a Blanket, but the twist using andouille sounds more “fancy” than the normal variety. I can’t wait to try these!
Ok I have a problem… Um, why wasn’t I invited over to taste this? OMG! This is so up my ally! YUM!
This are my the big guy’s favorite, but for me you have upped it with the chutney. I would fight him for them now!!
I Love this!!! Looks so good!
I like the ingredients and ease of this – it looks pretty and I can imagine it is very good. I just happen to have a few pounds of delicious andouille recently imported from Acadiana.
