Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Everything Pigs In A Blanket
- Crescent Rolls
- Cocktail franks
- Egg
- Everything But the Bagel Seasoning
How To Make Air Fryer Everything 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 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, and this will prevent the dough from sticking to the basket.
Continue to wrap them until you have finished the package. I had to separate them into two batches, as they all wouldn’t fit. Do not overcrowd the basket. Otherwise, they will not cook evenly, or the dough will get stuck to each other.
Set the time for 5 minutes at 330 degrees F. (air fryer setting)
Ingredient Notes:
Meat: You can either use cocktail wieners, cut up hot dogs, or even Vienna Sausage. You can also make this vegan by substituting the beef with Beyond The Sausage and cut them into slices.
Dough: You can use either ruse recent dough or Puff Pastry. If you use puff pastry, make sure the puff pastry is defrosted first.
Bagel Seasoning: While I used Trader Joe’s, you can also use the Aldi and Costco brands, as well as your local grocery store brand.
Cheese: Adding cheese elevates these. You can cut a slit in the hot dog/Weiner and stuff it with cheese. Some great options are shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese.
Pro Tips For Air Frying Pigs In Blanket
- To ensure that the pigs in the blanket do not stick, you can spray your basket or use an air fryer reusable silicone liner under the pigs in the blanket.
- Do not crowd your basket. Otherwise, the dough will not cook up properly.
- Use a spatula or tongs to remove the cooked pigs in the blanket; remember they are hot after cooking.
How Many To Make Per Person?
If you’re making the bigger pigs in a blanket, I recommend about 1-2 per person. If you make miniature pigs in the blanket, then 4-6 will be needed for your guests.
Can You Make Them Ahead Of Time?
While this dish is best when fresh, you can make it ahead of time! Just roll out crescent dough around hot dogs and keep them in the fridge.
The key is to wrap them tightly with saran wrap so the dough does not dry out.
How To Air Fry Frozen Pigs In The Blanket
They started selling them frozen in grocery stores. To air-fry them, they will cook up better if you leave them frozen. Then you can quickly heat them in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes at 330 degrees F (air fryer setting)
