There are few recipes as nostalgic as pigs in a blanket — those golden, buttery bites that instantly bring back memories of childhood parties and holiday gatherings. This everything bagel pigs in a blanket recipe is my simple, grown-up twist on the classic we all grew up loving. It’s the perfect balance of familiar and elevated — and I first made them for Halloween this year, where they were an instant hit with both the adults and the kids.
I love a recipe that feels festive without fuss, and these check every box. Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party, heading to a fall tailgate, or just want an easy appetizer to share, these are as crowd-pleasing as it gets.
A Simple Twist on a Classic
To make them, I start with one can of crescent rolls (or crescent roll sheets if you prefer) and one package of little smokies. I slice the dough into small strips, roll each sausage, and then dip one side of the dough in everything bagel seasoning before placing them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, and that’s it — buttery, flaky, savory perfection. The everything bagel seasoning gives them just the right crunch and a salty, garlicky finish that makes them feel just a touch more special than the traditional version.
The Perfect Party Bite
I love serving these right out of the oven with a few dipping sauces — mustard, spicy aioli, or even ranch if the kids are joining in. They’re a great grab-and-go option for a tailgate, too, since they travel easily and taste just as good at room temperature.
Recipes like this are what I love most — simple, nostalgic, and guaranteed to bring people together. Whether you’re gathering friends around the firepit this fall or heading out for a Halloween block party, these everything bagel pigs in a blanket are sure to disappear fast.
