Ingredients to make Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket:

Kitchen Appliances:

The Steps to make Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Unwrap the crescent dough and separate the triangles of dough along the serrated cuts. Cut each triangle into thirds.
- Roll each mini hot dog in one of the small triangles of dough and lightly press down to seal once it is rolled.
- Whisk up one egg and brush some on the top of each pig in a blanket.
- Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top of each pig in a blanket.
- Bake for 17-19 minutes.
Ingredient Substitutions:
Mini Hot Dogs:
If you cannot find mini hot dogs, you can also choose to cut a full size hot dog into smaller pieces. I would suggest cutting each hot dog into 3 to 4 equal size pieces and then rolling them in the crescent dough. If you need a plant based hot dog alternative, you can also do the same steps with plant based hot dogs as well!
Crescent Roll Dough:
You can actually sub out the crescent roll dough for pie dough! You can get a pre-made refrigerated pie dough and cut it out into triangles to make it easy for rolling. Using pie dough may change the amount of time that your everything bagel pigs in a blanket need to be baked.
FAQ's
What kind of sauce should the Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket be paired with?
Well, first things first, I love a good dijon mustard with my pigs in a blanket and that definitely has not changed with this recipe. This sauce is obviously very low maintenance too because it is perfect right out of the bottle! I also came up with a sauce that was not planned but ended up being delicious. I took 2 parts barbecue sauce, 1 part ketchup and one part mustard. Once mixed together, it made a tangy barbecue type sauce that paired deliciously with the everything bagel pigs in a blanket.
What is in everything bagel seasoning?
Everything bagel seasoning is a combination of black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion and sea salt. The beautiful thing is, you can buy this seasoning almost anywhere, so no need to make it yourself! But, if you want to make it yourself, there you have it!
