Cheesy Pigs in a Blanket

Most everyone really knows the basics of “Pigs in a Blanket.” This recipe I made tonight is adapted from The Neely’s Recipe I found online.  I added the Dijon mustard they recommended (I will go heavier on the light spread next time), and I also added a short, thick slice of white cheddar cheese in with the little smokies.

The seeds on top are just for decoration and a little texture. I used black and white sesame seeds after brushing the tops with a beaten egg, but poppy seeds can be used as a replacement.

The result was a delicious treat for a basketball-watching Tuesday night.

The version online has a Dijon-mayo sauce, but we dipped these in barbecue sauce. Yum!

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cut each triangle of crescent roll dough into thirds lengthwise, making 3 small strips from each roll.
3. Brush the dough strips lightly with Dijon mustard. Put the mini hot dogs and cheddar on 1 end of the dough and roll up.
4. Arrange them, seam side down, on a greased cookie sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
