While that little piggy is missing out, this little piggy is going to be squealing with delight thanks to these Louisiana Piggies! This Southern-inspired snack is a nod to the classic pigs-in-a-blanket, but with a little more elegance and a lot more heartiness. The way the fancy, flaky puff pastry strips wrap around the thick and meaty andouille sausages really creates an oinkin’ good combination. And the tastiness the tangy, sweet sauce we make for dippin’ might just convince that other little piggy to make his way back home. So, on the way home from the market, you’ll be crying “wee, wee, wee” all the way home, because you can’t wait to make Louisiana Piggies!
