Are You Ready for Some Football ! ! Tailgating SundaySupper Featuring Posh Pigs In a Blanket
These spicy bites feature cheddar-studded turkey smoked sausage wrapped in crescents. Then, I upped the flavor quotient by adding honey mustard, shredded cheese and a mixture of sauteed shallot and Hatch chiles. Before they are baked, I sprinkled cilantro and Cajun spice on top to even more spicy flavor. WARNING: these little piggies are addictive, so you may want to make a double batch if you have a big crowd!
Posh Pigs In a Blanket
a Weekend Gourmet Original
Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 count)
- 4 links Johnsonville Turkey Sausage with Cheddar
- 1/3 cup honey mustard (or regular yellow mustard)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 1 shallot, cut in half and sliced into thin half moons
- 1/2 small seeded Hatch chile, sliced thinly
- 1 tbs. olive oil
- Dried cilantro
- Cajun seasoning (I used Zatarains)
1. Preheat oven to 375 and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Place the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat; add the shallot and Hatch chile and saute for about 10 minutes, until golden-brown. Place individual crescent rolls onto the parchment paper. Spread evenly with the honey mustard and sprinkle with the cheddar.
2. Spread each crescent with approximately 1 tsp. of the sauteed shallot and Hatch chile along the larger end of the triangle. Cut each turkey sausage in half lengthwise. Place the sausage across the wide end of the crescent and carefully roll up. You want to the end containing the sausage on the bottom so it forms a base.
3. Sprinkle the top of each crescent with dried cilantro and Cajun seasoning. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until the crescents are golden-brown. For event baking, turn the baking sheet around halfway through baking. Let the finished pigs in a blanket cool for 5 minutes before plating and serving.
Boy, are these ever good! Each bite has a bit of sweet tang from the honey mustard, a double shot of cheese...and just the right amount of spice. The Hatch chiles and Cajun seasoning bring just a touch of heat...and I liked the onion backnote from the shallot. If youre not a honey mustard fan, simply use good old yellow mustard instead. Thats what I did for half of these since thats how Michael likes them.
