Brats in a Blanket with Beer Mustard image

Brats in a blanket take the classic pigs in a blanket appetizer to the next level for dinner! I used fully cooked brats to make this super easy, but fresh brats are delicious if you have time to cook them ahead. Go crazy with your favorite flavors--I used jalapeño-Cheddar brats here!

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
One 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent rolls
8 fully cooked brats, such as jalapeño-Cheddar-flavored
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/2 cup IPA beer
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons coarse-ground Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Carefully unroll and separate 8 of the perforated triangles of crescent dough. Starting with the smaller end of each dough triangle, wrap it around a brat and pinch the seams together to totally seal. Place the wrapped brats on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the brats with the egg and sprinkle the poppy and sesame seeds on top. Bake until the dough is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • To make the beer mustard, add the beer to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer; simmer over medium heat until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved, about 1 minute. Add the yellow mustard and Dijon mustard to a small heatproof bowl. Pour in the reduced beer and stir to combine.
  • Serve the brats in a blanket with the beer mustard on the side for dipping.
