Pigs in blankets US style <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the traditional festive treat of sausages wrapped in bacon that we’re familiar with in the UK, these are a US version where hot dog-style sausages are wrapped in a puff pastry blanket – sort of a sausage roll. These ones also have a cheesy twist. <\/p>\n\n\n

They make a perfect snack for all the family and also a great party food idea (see also our pizzette recipe<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheesy Pigs in blankets: ingredients <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe makes 18 little pigs in blankets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
• One sheet of puff pastry (approx 320g)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Six hot dogs <\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Six slices of cheese <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  We use Frankfurter sausages and Emmental cheese slices as they melt really nicely and are not overly cheesy or gooey. You could also use cheddar slices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Method: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  \n
  1. Preheat oven to 220\u02dac (200c for a fan) and cook your hotdogs as per packet instructions <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Get the puff pastry out of the fridge and to room temperature. Then slice into six even rectangle and place a slice of cheese on top of each leaving a margin of pastry <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

     As a variation, you can use croissant dough instead of puff pastry, and as mentioned before you can use different styles of sliced cheese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
