These crispy mummy pigs in a blanket are a fun and delicious Halloween appetizer. Cocktail sausages are wrapped in crescent roll dough with mozzarella cheese, brushed with garlic butter, and baked until golden and flaky.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12-14 ounces) cocktail sausages
  • 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (optional)
  • Mustard or ketchup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder. Set aside.
  3. Cut the mozzarella into thin strips, about 1 inch long and ¼ inch wide.
  4. Open the can of crescent rolls and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 long strips (24 strips total).
  5. Place a strip of mozzarella on top of each cocktail sausage. Starting at one end, wrap a dough strip around the sausage, slightly overlapping, leaving a small gap near the top for the face. Press the end to seal.
  6. Arrange the wrapped mummies on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down, about 1 inch apart.
  7. Brush each mummy generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then use a toothpick to dab tiny dots of mustard or ketchup on the exposed sausage for eyes.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, don’t overwork the dough. Wrap at a slight angle for a spiral bandage look. Leave about ¼ inch of sausage exposed at the top for the eyes. Brush butter twice for extra crispiness. Use a wire rack for cooling to prevent soggy bottoms. Don’t skip the parchment paper.
