Ingredients

Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven according to the directions on the crescent roll package. Typically, this will be around 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Crescent Rolls
- Unroll but leave intact 2 triangles of crescent roll dough. Ensure that the seams are pinched together to form a solid sheet of dough.
Cut Dough
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into 5 strips. Then, slice each strip crosswise, resulting in 10 smaller strips per triangle.
Wrap Sausages
- Take each cocktail sausage and wrap it snugly in one of the prepared crescent roll strips. Ensure the sausage is fully enclosed by the dough.
Arrange in Baking Pan
- Prepare a baking pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking oil. Place each wrapped sausage in the pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching.
Season
- Sprinkle each pig-in-a-blanket with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of garlic salt. This will add extra flavor and a delightful crunch to each bite.
Bake
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake the pigs-in-a-blanket according to the directions on the crescent roll package. Typically, this will take about 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the sausages are cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Once baked to perfection, remove the pigs-in-a-blanket from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These delicious bites are best enjoyed warm and can be served with your favorite dipping sauces or condiments.
