These crispy mini hot dog pigs in a blanket are a quick, fun, and satisfying snack featuring buttery crescent roll dough wrapped around savory mini hot dogs, served with a tangy mustard dip that perfectly balances the richness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 mini hot dogs
  • 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Optional: sesame seeds or poppy seeds for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and cut into 1-inch wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  3. Wrap each mini hot dog with a strip of dough, overlapping slightly to seal, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of each wrapped hot dog with the egg wash.
  5. Optionally, sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
  7. While baking, whisk together yellow mustard, mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the tangy mustard dip.
  8. Let the pigs in a blanket cool for a couple of minutes after baking and serve warm with the mustard dip.

Notes

Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and soggy bottoms. Apply egg wash evenly for a golden, crispy finish. If dough puffs too much during baking, gently press down with a spatula halfway through. Avoid overbaking to prevent burning. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute crescent dough and mayonnaise accordingly. Cheese can be added inside the dough for a gooey surprise. Air fryer method: 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
