Everyone loves pigs in a blanket for an appetizer. You know pigs in a blanket are always the
first to go at a party.
This version of pigs-in-a-blanket is jazzed up with puff pastry and Parmesan cheese. They are
perfect for a holiday party or a Super Bowl party or a backyard barbecue.
You'll see them fly off the plate.
These kicked-up, Parmesan-crusted, pigs in a blanket were inspired by a frozen,
prepared version I purchased at the grocery store. The grocery store
frozen pigs-in-a-blanket were a holiday specialty item and I bought a box of
twelve to try them out.
They were good, but a little greasy. I was sure I could make them better and for less money. The store-brand cost approximately $0.42 each. My version cost me about $0.24 each. That makes these elevated pigs in a blanket budget-friendly.
How do you keep your pigs in a blanket from being soggy? Be sure to drain the little smokies sausages in a colander. Pat them dry with a paper towel. You want the sausages to be dry so your puff pastry doesn't get soggy.
