IF you’re a fan of pigs in blankets and are already counting down the days until December 25th, when you can stuff yourself silly with them, you’ve come to the right place.
You can’t go wrong with pigs in blankets, right? Well, it turns out that there’s a way you can level up your favourite festive snack – and it’s super simple.
A London-based foodie has shared her simple recipe for the ultimate pigs in blankets – and the secret ingredient is cheese – yes, you heard that correctly.
Emily, a food-loving mum, took to social media to show off how she makes the best festive snack – cheesy pigs in blankets.
Using a cheeky treat many of us will remember from our childhoods – cheese strings – Emily left many totally stunned with her unique take on a festive favourite.
And if you’ve joined the air fryer crew – you’ll want to listen up.
She started out by lightly slicing down the middle of her sausages using a sharp knife.
Emily then placed a whole cheese string in the middle, before grabbing her streaky bacon and wrapping it around.
She wrote: “Place them on some baking paper and pop them in the oven or air fryer.
“I made mine in the air fryer at 180°C for 15 minutes.”
Seconds later, Emily showed off her finished snack and used her fingers to tear apart the sausage, showing an epic cheese pull.
If you’re a cheese lover, you’ll need to give this recipe a go, as it’s safe to say, our mouths are now watering.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @emilyscooking_, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly amassed a staggering 512,600 views in just one day.
Social media users were open-mouthed at the unique take on a British staple and many took to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person said: “Oh my days do I need to try these.”
Another added: “Game changer.”
A third commented: “This looks delicious.”
However, not everyone was as keen on the cheesy recipe and particularly weren’t a fan of using cheese strings.
One user wrote: “Cheese strings??? get in the bin.”
A second claimed: “So people just don’t understand cooking.”
Whilst someone else penned: “I’d use Mozzarella myself.”
