Steps:
- Cut hot dogs lengthwise 3/4 of the way through. Insert a piece of cheese or 1/2 teaspoon caramelized onions into each hot dog, if using; set aside. If not using cheese or onions, poke hot dogs several times with the tip of a knife.
- On a lightly floured work surface, working with one sheet of puff pastry at a time, roll into a 14-by-11-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into seven 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 4 rectangles, each about 3 1/2 inches long.
- In a small bowl, beat together egg and 1 tablespoon water; set aside. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat; set aside. Place a hot dog on the narrow end of one piece of pastry. Roll to enclose, brushing with some of the beaten egg to adhere; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining hot dogs and pastry. Brush the tops of puff pastry with egg and sprinkle with seeds, if using. Transfer to refrigerator and let chill for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool briefly before serving with mustard and ketchup.
Tips:
- To make the pigs in a blanket, use a sharp knife to cut the hot dogs into quarters lengthwise. Then, place a piece of cheese on each hot dog quarter, and wrap it with a slice of crescent roll dough. Make sure to pinch the edges of the dough to seal it.
- For the sauerkraut and mustard sauce, heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then, add the sauerkraut and cook it for 5 minutes, or until it is heated through. Stir in the mustard, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional minute. Serve the sauce over the pigs in a blanket.
- If you are using frozen puff pastry dough, be sure to thaw it completely before using it. You can thaw the dough in the refrigerator overnight, or at room temperature for about an hour.
- If you want to make your own crescent roll dough, you can follow this recipe: Easy Crescent Roll Dough Recipe.
- To make the pigs in a blanket ahead of time, assemble them and place them on a baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pigs in a blanket for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to bake them, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the pigs in a blanket for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Pigs in a blanket with sauerkraut and mustard is an easy and delicious appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. You can make them ahead of time, so they are a great option for busy weeknights. Plus, they are always a hit with kids and adults alike.
