Pigs in a Blanket Recipe

These pigs in a blanket are perfect for holiday parties and come together quickly with just three simple ingredients. Here's how to make them:

Ingredients

• 1 (10-ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough
• 8 slices American processed cheese (optional)
• 8 frankfurters (or cocktail sausages for a bite-sized version)

Directions

Follow these easy steps to make your pigs in a blanket:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Gather all your ingredients so you're ready to go.

Step 2: Take the biscuit dough and divide it into sections. Roll each section into a 3-inch diameter circle.

Step 3: Place a slice of cheese on top of each dough circle. If you prefer the cheese, this step adds a creamy flavor to your pigs in a blanket.

Step 4: Next, place a frankfurter (or cocktail sausage) in the center of each cheese-covered dough circle.

Step 5: Carefully roll up the dough around the sausage and cheese, ensuring the seam is on the bottom to keep it secure during baking.

Step 6: Arrange the rolled-up dough on a baking sheet, placing them seam-side down.

Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8: Serve hot and enjoy your homemade pigs in a blanket! These are great as party appetizers or a fun snack.
