🕒 Prep Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Cook Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 package cocktail sausages (about 30 pieces)
- 2 tubes crescent roll dough (or puff pastry sheets)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro sprigs (to look like pumpkin “vines”)
- Mustard or ketchup, for dipping
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. - Prepare the dough
Roll out the crescent dough and separate into triangles (or cut puff pastry into strips). Each piece should be wide enough to wrap around a small sausage. - Wrap the pigs
Place one cocktail sausage at the wide end of a crescent triangle and roll it up snugly. To make them look like little pumpkins, pinch the dough slightly at intervals so it forms soft ridges. - Egg wash for shine
Brush each wrapped pig with beaten egg. This will give them a golden, glossy finish. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning on top for extra flavor. - Bake until golden
Arrange on your baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until puffed and beautifully browned. - Add the pumpkin patch touch
Once cooled slightly, tuck in small parsley or cilantro sprigs at the top of each pig to resemble pumpkin vines. Arrange them on a platter like a little pumpkin patch! - Serve & enjoy
Pair with a side of mustard, ketchup, or a spicy dipping sauce for a fun party-ready platter.
Pro Tips for Success
- Make ahead: You can wrap the sausages a few hours ahead of time and refrigerate. Just bake fresh before serving.
- Dough options: Crescent roll dough is the easiest, but puff pastry gives a flakier, bakery-style texture.
- Serving idea: For a Halloween spread, serve these alongside “bloody” marinara dip for a spooky twist!
