A quick and easy snack featuring cocktail sausages wrapped in buttery crescent roll dough, sprinkled with savory everything bagel seasoning for a crispy, flavorful bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) cocktail sausages (pork or beef blend preferred)
  • 1 package (8 oz or 227g) refrigerated crescent roll dough (Pillsbury recommended)
  • 23 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, onion, salt)
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
  • Optional: small dollop of mustard or slice of cheese inside the blanket
  • Optional: light brush of butter before baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and press down any perforations to seal seams.
  3. Cut the dough into roughly 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  4. Wrap each cocktail sausage snugly with a strip of dough, spiraling to cover most of the sausage. Add cheese or mustard inside if desired.
  5. Place wrapped sausages seam side down on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. Brush each wrapped sausage lightly with the egg wash.
  7. Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the tops.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough is golden brown and crispy, checking after 10 minutes to avoid burning.
  9. Transfer to a cooling rack for 5 minutes before serving to keep bottoms crisp.

Notes

Press down dough perforations to prevent air bubbles. Egg wash helps seasoning stick and creates a golden crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep dough crispy. Chill dough if too soft. Use fresh everything bagel seasoning for best flavor. For extra crispiness, brush with melted butter before baking. Store leftovers in airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
