Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 can crescent roll dough
  • 1 (14-ounce) package smoked cocktail sausages
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, (softened)
  • 1-2 jalapenos,
  • 1 egg +1 Tablespoon water (for an egg wash)
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons poppy seeds

Instruction

  • Preheat the air fryer to 300°F or oven to 375°F.
  • Cut the crescent dough into small 4-inch strips.
  • Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of shredded cheese on each strip of dough, then place 1 teaspoon of cream cheese on top. Add 1-2 pieces of sliced jalapeno, then top with one cocktail weiner.
  • Roll the crescent roll dough around the cocktail weiner. Repeat until all of the lil' smokies have been wrapped up.
  • Line the air fryer basket or a baking sheet with parchment paper, depending on which cooking method you are using. Add each pig in a blanket to the basket, leaving space so they don't touch. You will need to cook them in more than one batch if using an air fryer depending on how big your air fryer is if using that method.
  • Make an egg wash by beating the egg and water together in a bowl. Brush the tops and sides of each pig in a blanket with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the poppy seeds.
  • Place the basket into the air fryer and cook for 8 minutes in the air fryer or in the oven for 11-13 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
