Ingredients

For the Pigs in a Blanket

• 1 package of cocktail sausages or mini hot dogs
• 1 sheet of crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)

For the Mayo-Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dipping Sauce

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
2. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the sweetness and tanginess according to your preference.
4. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 2: Assemble the Pigs in a Blanket

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. If using puff pastry, you may want to roll it out slightly thinner.
3. Cut the dough into triangles or rectangles large enough to wrap around each sausage.
4. Place a cocktail sausage at the base of each dough triangle and roll it up, enclosing the sausage completely.
5. Arrange the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Serve

2. Serve the Pigs in a Blanket warm, alongside the mayo-honey mustard dipping sauce for a delightful flavor combination.
