How to Make Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket

Ingredients:

1 package of crescent roll dough
1 package of mini hot dogs
Everything bagel seasoning
1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

Directions:

Step 1: Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature is key for achieving that golden brown color and flaky texture.
Step 2: Cutting the Dough

Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface or a cutting board. Cut the dough into triangles according to the perforations. Each triangle should be large enough to wrap around a mini hot dog comfortably.
Step 3: Rolling the Dogs

Place a mini hot dog at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up towards the pointy end. Make sure to encase the hot dog fully for the best results.
Step 4: Egg Wash and Seasoning

If you choose to use an egg wash, whisk the egg in a small bowl and gently brush the tops of each rolled hot dog. This gives them a nice shine. Next, generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top of each roll for that signature flavor.
Step 5: Baking

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the rolled everything bagel pigs in a blanket on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Step 6: Serving

Once baked, allow them to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. These treats are best enjoyed warm!

Serve these delightful pigs in a blanket with a variety of dipping sauces! Mustard, ketchup, or even a tangy cream cheese dip work wonderfully.

How to Store Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket

If you have leftovers (though we doubt they will last long!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through, to restore their crispiness.
