Miniature Pigs in a Blanket -- cocktail franks wrapped in crescent dough and topped with an "everything bagel" seasoning -- the best quick and easy party appetizer!

1/2tablespoonblack sesame seeds
2teaspoonsdried minced garlic
2teaspoonsdried minced onion
1/2teaspoonflaky sea saltNote 1
1(8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dough(8 count)
3tablespoonsDijon mustard
24mini BEEF hot dogs or cocktail franks
1largeegg,lightly beaten
Dipping Sauce (Optional)
1/2cupsour cream(full fat recommended)
1/2cupmayonnaise(full fat recommended)
3tablespoonsDijon mustard
1tablespoonwhole-grain mustard
Instructions
Prepare the seasoning: Add the poppy seeds, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and salt (See Note 1) to a small bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a Silpat liner and set it aside.
Unroll the crescent dough (use straight out of the fridge) and cut each triangle of crescent roll dough into thirds lengthwise so you'll have 3 small/thin strips from each triangle (24 total).
Brush the dough strips very lightly and evenly with the Dijon mustard. Put the hot dogs on the wider edge of the dough and roll up them up.
Place them with the seam side down (so it doesn't lift) on the prepared sheet pan. With a fork, briskly whisk a full egg until smooth. Brush that egg wash over the dough and sprinkle each bundle with the seasoning mix (just eyeball it for how much you'd like).
Bake in preheated oven for 10-14 minutes or until lightly golden brown. If desired, serve with the dipping sauce.
To make the dipping sauce: Whisk all of the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate and serve alongside the Pigs in a Blanket.
Notes
Note 1: Salt: Add salt to personal preference. Between the dough and hot dog these are pretty salty on their own, but if you like a super-salty treat, add some additional.Nutrition information is calculated based on 24 appetizers and does not include the dipping sauce.
