Meat Lovers Pigs-in-a-blanket

PRINT RECIPE

Author: Sarah Shotts | Love Letter to Adventure


When you think of a pig-in-a-blanket what comes to mind?


Probably a tiny sausage wrapped in a fluffy biscuit… if you’re American that is.


I had no idea that there was another kind of pig-in-a-blanket until I lived in London for a year earning my graduate degree.


The British style of this classic party food is a little meatier. Traditionally made with a chipolata sausage wrapped in streaky bacon I was instantly hooked. The smokiness of the bacon takes a regular pig-in-a-blanket to a whole new level.


My family loves these! We have them pretty much any time there’s a celebration. I love how easy they are and the leftovers (if there are any) can double as breakfast food the next morning.


Since chipolata sausages aren’t very common in the US I’ve substituted Petit Jean smoked sausages for my recipe. They give the appetizers a little extra flavor and are easy to find.


I hope you enjoy this twist on a classic appetizer.
