A HOT TAKE ON AN AMERICAN FAVORITE
Whether you have people coming for a Sunday afternoon game or just feel like having a fun dinner, Jalapeno Pigs In A Blanket make for a delicious bite you can't stop popping!
This American classic has taken many shapes. This recipe adds a little twist by including both cream cheese and a sliver of jalapeno. I promise when you put these pigs in a blanket on the table, they will disappear fast!
HOW TO MAKE JALAPENO PIGS IN A BLANKET
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the dough into 9 triangles. Cut each dough triangle into thirds, lengthwise.
- On the thickest part of the dough, add about 1 tsp of cream cheese.
- Wash and remove all seeds from jalapeno. This will remove most of the heat. Then slice them into thin pieces about 1 inch long.
- Next, add a jalapeno about the same length as the dough.
- Place a smokey on the thickest end of the triangle and roll up each smokey with the jalapenos.
- Repeat with remaining dough, cream cheese, jalapenos and smokey.
- Place each on the baking sheets.
Brush the melted butter over the tops of each and lightly sprinkle Montreal Chicken seasoning over each.
DINNER
Although these little cute bites probably make you think of an appetizer, they truly make a fun weeknight dinner. Get the kids involved. They'll have a ball helping make dinner.
If you are worried the kids won't like the jalapeno's, just leave them out. These are delicious even without the jalapenos.
WHAT SHOULD YOU SERVE WITH PIGS IN A BLANKET
Carrots, celery and some ranch dressing for dipping go great with these pigs in a blanket. You could also serve them with fresh green beans or a simple green salad.

Can you make these in air fryer?

Absolutely! 325 for 3-4 minutes on each side should be just right.
