PIGS IN A BLANKET
Kids love this one. My mom made it for me as did her mom. If making for a small child, cut the hot dogs into fourths length wise. The cheese is always optional.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two 13x18-inch baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Prep the ingredients for the filling and set aside.
- If using a 17-ounce puff pastry package, roll each sheet to a 9x12-inch rectangle. Cut each piece lengthwise into eight 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into two pieces, about 4 1/2 inches long. You should have 32 pieces of pastry.
- Spread the center of each piece of pastry with 1/2 teaspoon mustard and top with 1/2 teaspoon sauerkraut. Brush one narrow end of the pastry with egg wash, add one piece of sausage, and roll to enclose. Return to parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush the top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with caraway seeds, seam-side down. Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 23 to 27 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best possible results. Look for high-quality sausage, bacon, and cheese.
- Prepare the pigs in the blanket ahead of time: You can assemble the pigs in the blanket up to 24 hours ahead of time. Just keep them covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake them.
- Bake the pigs in the blanket at a high temperature: This will help to ensure that the sausage is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
- Serve the pigs in the blanket with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include ketchup, mustard, and ranch dressing.
