Pigs in a blanket!

Hey Guys!

So on New Year’s Eve we always have pigs in a blanket...mostly because every year I ask for them! But this is the first year we can’t do normal bread pigs in a blanket so I went digging for a healthy recipe. And I found one!

Let’s get started!

You will need:

37 Lit’l Smokies or quartered hot dogs
8 oz. Cheddar Cheese (~2 cups)
3/4 cup Almond Flour
1 tbsp. Psyllium Husk Powder
1.5 oz. Cream Cheese (~3 tbsp.)
1 large Egg
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper

Measure out your ingredients and set out a cookie sheet with a silicone mat on top. This is important because you want to be quick later on.

Now melt the cheese in 20-40 second intervals until it is bubbly on the edges and almost like a liquid. Add the other ingredients and mix well.

Thanks to lil sis for taking the photo!

Use a fork to mix while the cheese cools down, but when you can pick it up without getting burned you are gonna want to knead it with your hands.

When it looks like this you’re golden! Now drop this on the cookie sheet and begin spreading it out.

Try and make it a rectangle shape. Now refrigerate it for 15 mins and preheat the oven to 400°F.

Now turn it over onto a cutting board and cut it! I like to do triangles by making trapezoids like this, then cutting those in half. But you can do strips or squares, whatever you like!

Now roll them up and place them back on the cookie sheet! You only see about 20 here because I ran out of smokies but you can make a few more depending on how you cut the dough. Strips will probably yield more than triangles.

Now bake for about 10 mins or until they begin to brown. You don’t want to cook these too fast because then the tips will burn and the rest of it won’t be cooked.

And that’s it! These taste really amazing, especially since they are healthy! If you try these be sure to let me know!

Also, if you liked this recipe, check out this recipe for healthy pizza: Cooky's Creations. This is a recipe I’ve been wanting to share with you for some time, but I recently deleted the photos without saving them, which is extremely frustrating. So while I get everything back under control, you can make pizza and pigs in a blanket for your next party!

Happy New Year!!
