Discover the secrets to cooking the perfect pigs in a blanket

Pigs in a blanket are a beloved addition to any Christmas dinner, offering a delightful combination of sweet and salty flavors that perfectly complement other festive foods. However, achieving the ideal texture and taste can be a challenge. Here's how to cook these delectable treats to perfection and avoid any burning mishaps.

To start, gather your ingredients: sausages and bacon. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Take each sausage and wrap it snugly in a strip of bacon. This will not only add a delicious smoky flavor but also help keep the sausages moist during cooking.

Next, place the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking tray and pop them in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the bacon turns golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent any burning. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Whether you're serving pigs in a blanket as a main dish or as a delightful appetizer, these tips will ensure you achieve that next level crispy bacon and perfectly cooked sausages. Enjoy the irresistible combination of flavors that will make your Christmas dinner truly memorable!
