E is for: Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket

JUMP TO RECIPE

FACT: Everyone loves pigs in a blanket.

(Ok, perhaps if you’re a vegetarian or a celiac, then maybe you don’t love them, but everyone else… LOVE.)

Think about it… when you are at a party and that tray of those adorable little hot dogs wrapped in pillowy dough comes around, you are at minimum grabbing two (or 10.)

So what if I told you these are even BETTER than the pigs and blankets you know and love?

Why? Because these little bites of heaven are also rolled in a homemade everything bagel seasoning and dunked in a Dijon scallion cream cheese dipping sauce… combining the best of an everything bagel and a hot dog all in one delicious bite!

I originally developed this recipe for a fun little Golfweek video back in the spring, and then tweaked it in December for a sponsored post with Morton Salt. I decided I liked them so much that they deserved a permanent spot on my blog. (Plus… these would be PERFECT for Super Bowl!)

This version includes a recipe for homemade everything bagel seasoning, which is super easy to make! All I did was combine sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, dried garlic, brown mustard seeds (optional), and coarse sea salt.

Using store-bought crescent dough, cut dough into strips and wrap around the cocktail franks. (Or “‘Lil Weenies” as I kept calling them.)

Roll each dough-wrapped cocktail frank in the Everything Bagel Seasoning and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

For the Dijon Scallion Cream Cheese dip, mix together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1-2 sliced scallions, a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup sour cream and season with sea salt, to taste.

Share with your friends… or don’t. 🙂

If using the Everything Bagel Seasoning on its own (and you don't plan to use it in a baked recipe), I recommend toasting the sesame seeds first.
