Irresistible Sticky Pigs in Blankets: A Sweet and Savory Twist on a Classic Appetizer
Ingredients
- 1 pound mini sausages
- 1 pound streaky bacon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wrap the Sausages: Cut each bacon slice in half and wrap a half slice around each mini sausage, placing them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Prepare the Sticky Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Brush and Bake: Generously brush the sticky glaze over each wrapped sausage. Bake for 15 minutes.
5. Flip and Glaze Again: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip each sausage, and brush with the remaining glaze. Bake for another 10–12 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the glaze is caramelized.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Let the Sticky Pigs in Blankets cool slightly to allow the glaze to set, then serve them warm for the ultimate sweet and savory experience.
Notes
Sticky Pigs in Blankets are the perfect appetizer for any occasion, from game day gatherings to holiday parties. Serve them on a platter with toothpicks for easy grabbing, or arrange them on a skewer for a fun, handheld presentation.
