Ingredients

2 packages crescent roll dough see notes
1 package mini hotdogs also known as lil smokies see notes
2-3 slices cheese cheddar, Pepper Jack, use provolone, American, Monterey Jack or Colby Jack
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Pat the hotdogs dry. Cut a slit in the hotdogs that you want to add cheese to. The slit should be fairly deep but not go through to the bottom. Add a small sliver of cheese.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter divide each crescent roll into thirds making three long thin triangles. Place one mini dog on the widest part of each triangle and roll up towards the point. Place on prepared baking sheets seam side down.
Beat the egg and water together thoroughly. Lightly brush over the crescent roll portion of the pigs in a blanket being careful not to let it puddle up around them. If desired sprinkle with everything bagel spice.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until warm.
