Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Roll out crescent roll dough on a slightly floured surface so it does not stick. Cut dough into 4 rectangles.

3. Roll each sausage in pastry pressing seams to tightly seal.

4. Cut each wrapped sausage into angled fourths (you can also cut into thirds if you prefer larger pigs in a blanket).

5. In a small bowl combine butter, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and parmesan.

6. Brush each sausage with butter mixture.

7. Bake for 12-15 mounts or until flaky and golden brown.

8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with salt, and serve.

9. These are super yummy with marinara sauce for dipping.*
