Pigs In A Quilt Recipe

Introduction

Pigs in a quilt are a fun and delicious twist on the classic pigs in a blanket. Wrapped in a woven crescent roll dough, these golden-brown hot dogs make a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• 8 oz. tube crescent roll dough
• 8 all-beef frankfurter hot dogs
• 1 large egg, beaten to blend
• Flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: Arrange a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour a clean surface. Using your fingers, gently spread the crescent roll dough into a rectangle, pinching seams together. Roll out with a rolling pin to a 10″ x 8″ rectangle. Slice dough lengthwise into 8 strips, about 1 inch wide.
2. Step 2: Transfer 7 strips to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Fold back every other strip to expose the parchment. Starting on the left side, place a hot dog over the strips. Lift the folded strips back over the hot dog. Then fold back the alternate strips and place the next hot dog beside the first. Continue weaving all 8 hot dogs into the dough strips.
3. Step 3: Cut the remaining dough strip in half crosswise. Wrap each half along the left and right edges of the woven hot dogs, pinching the dough together to seal. Trim edges if necessary to create an even rectangle. Brush the dough surface with the beaten egg and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven until the dough is golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
5. Step 5: Cut the baked quilt into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a serving platter. Enjoy warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use sharp cheddar or your favorite cheese sliced thin to add inside before wrapping for extra flavor.
• Try mixing different types of hot dogs or sausages for variety.
• Brush with mustard or BBQ sauce before baking for a tangy twist.
• If you don’t have crescent dough, puff pastry works as a suitable substitute.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to keep the dough crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Instructions

1. Prepare the oven and dough: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, gently spread the crescent dough into a rectangle using your fingers and pinch the seams together. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to approximately a 10″ x 8″ rectangle. Slice the dough lengthwise into 8 strips about 1″ wide.
2. Create the woven dough base: Transfer 7 strips to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Fold back every other strip to expose the parchment below. Starting from the left side, place a hot dog over the strips. Then bring the folded strips back over the hot dog. Fold back the alternate strips again to expose parchment, place another hot dog, and repeat the folding process until all 8 hot dogs are interwoven in a lattice pattern wrapped with dough strips.
3. Finish the edges: Cut the remaining dough strip in half crosswise and wrap each half around the left and right edges of the woven hot dogs, pinching the dough to seal edges firmly. Trim any uneven edges to form a neat rectangle. Brush the entire dough surface with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for added flavor and texture.
4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, about 18 to 20 minutes. The dough should be flaky and slightly puffed.
5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut into bite-size pieces and transfer to a serving platter to enjoy warm.

Notes

• For extra flavor, consider brushing the dough with garlic butter before baking.
• Use all-beef hot dogs for a classic taste, or substitute with chicken or vegetarian hot dogs as preferred.
• Ensure to pinch the dough seams well to prevent the hot dogs from drying out during baking.
• Serving warm enhances the flaky texture and melty interior.
• Flaky sea salt adds a nice crunch and finishing touch; kosher salt can be used as a substitute.
