Jalapeño Popper Pigs in a Blanket

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, jalapeños, and crumbled bacon until well combined.
  3. Prepare the dough: Unroll crescent roll dough and cut each triangle into 2–3 smaller strips, depending on the size of your sausages.
  4. Stuff & wrap: Spread a small amount of jalapeño cream cheese mixture onto each dough strip. Place a cocktail sausage on top, then roll it up tightly.
  5. Egg wash: Brush each wrapped sausage with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  6. Bake: Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Serve: Serve warm with ranch, chipotle mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tip: If you like it extra spicy, leave some jalapeño seeds in or top the wrapped rolls with sliced jalapeños before baking!

Would you like me to also give you a make-ahead freezer version of these so you can prep them in advance for parties?
