How to Make Jalapeno Popper Pigs in a Blanket
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix together the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until creamy.
- Prepare the dough by unrolling the low-carb crescent dough and separating it into triangles.
- Spoon a small amount of the sausage mixture at the wide end of each dough triangle.
- Roll the dough around the filling, starting from the wide end and pinching the edges to seal.
- Arrange the wrapped pigs in a blanket on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth.
