Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These cheesy puff pastry pigs in a blanket combine mini hotdogs with gruyere cheese, savory herbs and a flakey puff pastry shell for a gourmet version of the familiar appetizer. They are actually quick and easy to make but they taste amazing. They are perfect to serve for a family breakfast or as an appetizer or hors d’oeuvre at a party.  

 

The Ingredients:

Mini Beef Hotdogs are juicy and delicious with excellent flavor but versatile enough to be flavored with different spices. I chose to use all-natural beef hotdogs because they are free from antibiotics, hormones, and artificial preservatives. Additionally, I think they have a much better taste.

Gruyere Cheese has a distinctive nutty taste that adds a savory flavor to the pigs in a blanket. It melts well and has a creamy texture, so it is perfect for the recipe.

Puff pastry dough is really the secret to these pigs in a blanket. Most people use crescent dough, but the puff pastry gives the pigs in a blanket a gourmet taste. The puff pastry turns crunchy and flakey when baked so it takes a good recipe and makes it amazing. Be sure to thaw out the puff pastry in the refrigerator.   

 

Salt, Black pepper, Thyme, Paprika, and mustard powder are the spices I used to flavor the Pigs in a Blanket. This combination of spices made them taste delicious and flavorful.

 

I used an egg to seal the edges of the pigs in a blanket and to brush on top of them to give them a nice crispy golden-brown top.

Your kids will be begging you to make these delicious appetizers. Lucky for you, they are extremely simple to make. These cheesy puff pastry pigs in a blanket will quickly become a family favorite! Let us know if your family enjoys this recipe as much as ours does!
