Use a variety of fillings to create different flavor combinations. Experiment with different types of cheese, herbs, vegetables, and cooked meats to find the perfect combination that suits your taste.
Don't overstuff the pigs in a blanket, as this will make them difficult to roll and seal. A small amount of filling is all that is needed to create a flavorful and satisfying snack.
Use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to cut the crescent roll dough into even strips. This will help to ensure that the pigs in a blanket are uniform in size and cook evenly.
Brush the pigs in a blanket with melted butter before baking. This will help them to brown and crisp up in the oven.
