Everything Bagel Mini Pigs In A Blanket Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why are my pigs in a blanket soggy? ›

To prevent soggy pigs in a blanket: Pat the hot dog or Lil' Smokies with a paper towel prior to wrapping in the crescent dough to decrease the amount of moisture you add in. This will keep the pigs in a blanket crispy, not soggy.

Everything bagel seasoning typically includes poppy seeds, toasted sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. It's a mixture of common ingredients you probably have in your pantry right now.

You can either keep them in a low-heat oven (around 225 F degrees), and just pull out one plate-full at a time, or you can keep them warm in a slow cooker. The slow cooker method may make them a bit soggy, but it's less hands-on than the oven method.

That perfect blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, minced onions, minced garlic, and salt makes our taste buds sing. We've got a container of this spice blend all mixed up and ready to go in our pantries at all times — because it's good for so much more than just bagels.

These mini pigs in a blanket can easily be made ahead of time and heated up later for your convenience. We don't recommend freezing them prior to baking—you can choose to either assemble your crescent roll pigs in a blanket a couple of hours ahead before baking and store them in the fridge, or freeze them after baking.

Take a non-stick baking tray and drizzle in a little olive oil. Smear it round to make sure it covers the base to ensure your pigs in blankets won't get suck while they are cooking.

Store in a cool, dark place such as your pantry or spice drawer. Since we're dealing with seeds rather than just spices, this seasoning will last you 6-12 months. It won't go bad, necessarily, it will just become stale. Make sure the jar you're storing the seasoning in has completely dried if you've recently washed it.

Starchy white bagels— and flavored varieties like onion, garlic, poppy seed, and “everything” bagels—are made with refined wheat flour, which has been stripped of the fiber and nutrients that give whole grains their health benefits.

The healthiest bagel is one made with whole grains. For a healthy bagel option, look for whole wheat or rye bagels. Sourdough bagels are also a healthy option, since sourdough bread varieties are more nutritious than white bread options.

The best side dishes to serve with pigs in a blanket are mashed sweet potatoes, baked beans, mac and cheese, Toad in The Hole, green beans and potatoes, cheese dip, deviled eggs, muffin mix waffles, blooming onion, scrambled eggs, creamy coleslaw, garlic bread, potato salad, corn on the cob, and sweet potato fries.

Can pigs in a blanket be served at room temperature? ›

Sure. You can assemble the pigs in a blanket and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. This appetizer is good hot out of the oven or cooled to room temperature. I think these taste best the day they are baked.

Pigs in blankets are thought to have originated from Czechoslovakia or Germany but first appeared in print in the Cooking for Kids cookbook, published by U.S food firm Betty Crocker in 1957.

The standard combination of toppings on an everything bagel is as follows: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, garlic, and salt. Some may add in black sesame and cracked pepper, too. The result is a supremely flavorful bite, a complex nutty flavor, and an exquisite extra crunch (and usually a ton of crumbs.)

Ensure fresh pastries have cooled to room temperature before wrapping them up to prevent residual heat from creating condensation that will turn them soggy. Choose to freeze your pastries instead of merely refrigerating them to keep them for longer.

Young pigs may even alter their dunging and sleeping habits and lie down in their excrement because feces and urine provide a temporarily warm floor. Of course, in the long run, this behavior gets them wet, increases heat loss from their body and just makes them feel even colder.

Signs of Dehydration:

Animal urinates or defecates less frequently. Dry nose. Sunken eyes. Rough hair coat.

When it gets warmer outside, swine find cool water or mud to have a similar effect to them as sweating does to us. So, the next time you hear a friend say, “It's so hot out I'm sweating like a pig”, feel free to correct them, but make sure you don't have someone else come along and correct you.
