When it comes to creating the perfect Pigs in a Cozy Blanket, the dough serves as the foundation of this delightful dish. Seasoning the dough is crucial for enhancing its flavor profile, ensuring that each bite is packed with taste. A simple addition of salt is essential as it brings out the natural flavors of the ingredients. For an extra layer of flavor, consider incorporating spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, or even a pinch of smoked paprika to give the dough a warm, inviting taste. Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme can also elevate the flavor, making your dish more aromatic and appealing.

Ingredients
  

1 pound of mini cocktail sausages or hot dogs

1 package (8 oz) of crescent roll dough

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)

Mustard or your favorite dipping sauce (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, flat surface and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.

      Add Flavor: Sprinkle garlic powder and dried oregano evenly over the dough triangles for added flavor.

        Layer Cheese: Place a small amount of shredded cheese at the wider end of each triangle.

          Wrap Sausages: Place a mini cocktail sausage on top of the cheese, then roll the triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip, encasing the sausage and cheese.

            Brush with Egg Wash: Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each one with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

              Garnish: If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top for added texture and flavor.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.

                  Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard.
