Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper or silicone mat
  • small bowl for egg wash

Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
  • 24 cocktail smokies or mini smokies
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Cut triangles in half lengthwise if large.
  • Place one mini smokie at the wide end of each dough piece and roll snugly, tucking the dough underneath.
  • Whisk egg with water to make an egg wash.
  • Place wrapped pigs seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Cool 2–3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat smokies dry before wrapping so the dough seals properly. For extra flavor, brush with melted butter after baking or sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning instead of sesame seeds.
