Ingredients
Scale
For the Pigs in a Blanket
- 2 (8-ounce) packages crescent dough
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, divided
- 24 ounces cocktail wieners
- 1 egg white, lightly whisked
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
For the Dipping Sauce
- 1/3 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large circular baking dish or pizza pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the tubes of crescent roll dough onto a cutting board. Brush the dough with half of the Dijon mustard. If using perforated crescent dough, cut each triangle into 4 pieces. They will not be exactly equal, but you can stretch the dough as needed.
- Wrap Wieners: Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of the dough, closing it so the mustard side is on the inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped wieners on the prepared baking sheet in a large circle with another smaller circle inside, or simply arrange them in rows.
- Apply Egg Wash and Seasoning: Brush the tops of the dough with the lightly whisked egg white. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning evenly over them. You can also use any combination of seasonings you prefer or leave them plain.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Dipping Sauce: While the pigs in a blanket bake, whisk together the cranberry sauce, brown sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup Dijon mustard in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Serve: Serve the pigs in a blanket warm with the cranberry mustard dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- You can use any brand of cocktail wieners or small sausages you prefer.
- If you cannot find everything bagel seasoning, try sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and onion flakes as a homemade substitute.
- Brushing with egg white instead of whole egg keeps the topping light and helps seasoning stick without adding too much color.
- Stretch dough carefully to avoid tearing when cutting unequal pieces.
- These are best served warm but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the dipping sauce.
