Remi'S Pigs In Blanket
Crispy, savory pigs in a blanket featuring flaky biscuits wrapped around juicy cocktail wieners, perfect for appetizers or fun snacks for all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the biscuits into individual layers.
- Roll each biscuit layer flat with a rolling pin.
- Place a cocktail wiener on each flattened biscuit and roll it up.
- Brush each wrapped wiener with melted butter.
- Sprinkle seasoned salt over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350° to 400° F until browned and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider using garlic powder or herbs in addition to seasoned salt. If you don't have cocktail wieners, mini sausages or even vegetarian hot dogs can be great substitutes. For a fun twist, try adding a slice of cheese with the wieners before rolling them up, or experiment with different biscuit flavors. Remember to keep an eye on baking time as oven temperatures can vary.
Serving Suggestions
These pigs in a blanket make a perfect appetizer for parties or game days. Serve them with dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or even BBQ sauce for an added kick. Pair with a fresh salad or crunchy veggies for a balanced platter. They also complement well with sweet treats like Trash Bag Candy for a delightful party spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and crispy again. Alternatively, you can microwave them for quick snacks, but they may lose some crispiness.
