Vegan Pigs In Blankets
These vegan pigs in a blanket are the perfect addition to your vegan Christmas menu. Plant based sausages and cranberry sauce are wrapped in flaky puff pastry for the ultimate party treat. Serve them with your vegan centerpiece, or as a great bake-and-go party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 8 vegan sausages *see note 1
- 1 package (8 count) crescent roll dough *see note 2
- 1 tablespoon cranberry sauce/jelly
- 1½ tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 360 F (180 C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Open the crescent roll tube. Lay the triangular pieces of dough point side down on a lightly floured surface. Lay the sausage at the top of the triangle (see photo). You want for the ends of the sausages to show, so if your sausages are smaller than the dough, give it a trim with kitchen scissors. If the vegan sausage you're using are bigger than the triangle of dough, you're good to go!
- Once the dough has been cut to the right size, put a thin scraping of cranberry jelly down the center of the triangle. Leave a generous border free from cranberry jelly. Starting at the long top side (where the sausage is), roll the puff pasty around the vegan sausage, sealing the tip down with your finger.
- Transfer the vegan pigs in a blanket to the prepared baking tray. Brush some soy milk over the tops of the dough, and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for 15 -20 minutes, or until the dough is crispy and golden.
Notes
- See post for a list of vegan sausages that will work perfectly with this recipe.
- I recommend getting crescent roll dough/croissant roll dough that comes in a pop-open tube. The pieces will be pre-cut into triangles. Alternatively, you can use puff pastry, and cut the triangles out yourself.
