Mini Pigs In A Blanket Air Fryer -- Do you love an appetizer bursting with flavor? If so, you'll love this Mini Pigs In A Blanket Air Fryer recipe!

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound cocktail sausage, or mini hot dogs
  • 1 pacakge crescent roll dough, or puff pastry

Egg Wash:

  • 1 large egg
  • 2-3 tablespoons water

Toppings: (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  • Prep the Dough: If using pre-made dough, unroll it and separate it into individual triangles or rectangles. If using homemade dough, roll it out to a thin layer. For mini pigs in the blanket, cut each triangle into two pieces.
  • Wrap the Sausages: Place a cocktail sausage or mini hot dog at the wide end of each piece of dough. If desired, add a small slice of cheese on top of the sausage before wrapping.
  • Roll Up: Roll the dough around the sausage, starting from the wide end and ending at the point. Make sure the dough is wrapped securely.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to around 375 degrees F (190°C).
  • Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the wrapped sausages in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air circulation. In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Using a pastry brush or your fingers, lightly brush each wrapped sausage with the beaten egg. This will help the dough brown nicely during baking
  • Sprinkle Poppy Seeds (Optional): Sprinkle poppy seeds over the egg-washed dough-wrapped sausages. This adds a pleasant visual appeal and a subtle nutty flavor.
  • Cooking Time: Cook the Pigs in a Blanket in the air fryer for about 4-6 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked.
  • Check for Doneness: Cut one Pig in a Blanket open to ensure the dough is cooked in the center and is no longer doughy.
  • Serve: Once cooked, remove the Pigs in a Blanket from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
