Pigs in a blanket are a classic appetizer gracing hors d’oeuvre tables year round. Adults and kids alike enjoy a cocktail wiener wrapped in buttery croissant dough. Dip them in honey mustard, ketchup or BBQ sauce, even eat them plain, they are always a winner!

So what takes these up a notch? CHEESE! Add any cheese of your choice for Cheesy Pigs in a Blanket! This recipe is an excellent way to use up little leftover pieces of cheese and you can even make a variety of cheese with an assortment of dipping sauces. Some of my favorites are cheddar, pepper jack, and Swiss.

Use pre-made croissant dough, pinching together the perforated sections, and cutting into thin strips. Strips may look too thin, but remember they will bake up a golden brown and surround your cocktail wiener. If you want a shiny pig in a blanket, use an egg wash of beat egg with a little bit of cream or water, then baste lightly and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
