Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until partially cooked but still pliable, about 5 minutes. It should not be fully crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Unroll crescent roll dough sheets on a lightly floured surface. Gently separate along the perforations into rectangles. Then, using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 4 narrow strips, resulting in 32 strips of dough. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese on one end of each dough strip. Top with a half-slice of bacon. Lay a cornichon horizontally on the cheese and bacon. Roll up the dough around the filling, starting from the cheese end, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. (15 minutes)

05

Step

Brush the top of each 'pig in a blanket' with the egg wash. This will give them a golden-brown sheen. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (15 minutes)

07

Step

Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Serve warm. (5 minutes)

For a tangier flavor, use dill pickle spears cut into smaller pieces instead of cornichons.
Experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere, pepper jack, or even a smoked Gouda would be delicious.
If you're short on time, pre-cooked bacon bits can be used, but freshly cooked bacon provides the best flavor.
Ensure the cornichons are well-drained to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
These are best served warm, but can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
