Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines to create 12 individual pieces.
Assemble Pigs in a Blanket: Place one mini sausage at the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. If you are using cheese, sprinkle about a teaspoon on top of each sausage.
Roll Up: Starting from the wide end with the sausage, roll each triangle tightly towards the narrow point, encasing the sausage completely within the dough.
Bake: Arrange the rolled sausages on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can brush the tops with melted butter or sprinkle sesame seeds before baking.
Swap mini sausages for vegetarian or vegan options to customize the recipe.
The addition of cheese is optional but adds a nice gooey texture and flavor.
Serve with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce for enhanced taste.
