Everyone loves air fryer pigs in a blanket. Today, I elevated them a bit and added some Trader Joe’s Everything Bagel Seasoning blend on top. They were amazing. Coming up with Air Fryer Pigs In A Blanket.
If you have not made pigs in the blanket in the air fryer, they are really simple and take just a few minutes to air fry (cook).
How Did The Name Stick?
PIgs in the blanket actually refers to the cocktail wiener, which is made of pork (pig) wrapped in a blanket of dough. The name actually refers to any pork product (pig) wrapped in dough.
How To Make Pigs In A Blanket in Air Fryer
Ingredients Needed
- 8-ounce roll of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store)
- 1 package cocktail franks (found near the hot dogs in the grocery store)
- 1 egg
- Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning
How Do You Make Pigs In A Blanket
- Start by removing the crescent dough from the package and laying it out on a cutting board, since you will be cutting it.
- Then remove the cocktail franks. I drained mine so that they would drip dry, as they come preserved in water If yours are still wet, just let them drain on a paper towel or kitchen towel.
- Use your own judgment and cut the dough, just long enough so it wraps around the cocktail frank.
- In a small bowl, beat an egg, with a fork, this will be brushed onto the top of unbaked cocktail franks.
- Brush the beaten egg and generously shake on the Everything seasoning.
- Spray your basket with olive oil, this will prevent the dough sticking to the basket.
- Continue to wrap them, until you have finished the package. I had to separate them into 2 batches, as they all wouldn’t fit. Do not overcrowd the basket, otherwise, they will not cook evenly, and/or the dough will get stuck to each other.
- Set the time for 5 minutes at 330 degrees F. (air fryer setting)
Can You Freeze Pigs In A Blanket?
Yes, they actually started selling them frozen in grocery stores. Simply let the pigs in a blanket reach room temperature and place them in an airtight container. They should last for about a month.
Then you can easily heat them up in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes at 330 degrees F (air fryer setting)
