Ingredients

• 1 - 12 Ounces (oz) can crescent roll dough, packaged
• 48 - Cocktail franks (about 1 lb)
• 48 - Thin slices pepperoni (about 4 oz)
• 2 - Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 1 - Tablespoon (tbsp) sesame seeds

Steps

1. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Separate crescent roll dough into 8 triangles and place on the prepared sheet pan. Freeze for about 10 minutes to firm up the dough.
3. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each triangle into 3 strips about 1-inch wide, then cut each strip into approximately 2-inch lengths. Aim for 6 pieces from each triangle. Press end pieces together to create more strips if needed. Return to freezer if dough becomes too soft.
4. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
5. Wrap each cocktail frank with a slice of pepperoni, then place on one end of a dough strip. Roll up with the seam on the bottom. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
6. Arrange the pigs in a blanket on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a 6x8 pattern, leaving space between them. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature with mustard or a mustard sauce. For a quick mustard sauce, mix equal parts mayonnaise and mustard.

Enjoy these savory bites as a perfect appetizer for any occasion!
