Ingredients

½ cup (15g) mayonnaise
¼ cup (85g) honey
2 tablespoons (30g) Dijon mustard
½ tablespoon (7.5ml) lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon (15g) sriracha

Brushing Sauce

¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter
1-2 tablespoons (21-42g) honey
1-2 tablespoons (2-4g) minced onions
1 tablespoon (15g) Dijon mustard
1½ teaspoons (7.5 ml) Worcestershire sauce

Pigs in a Blanket

2 8-ounce cans refrigerated crescent rolls, thawed (or use homemade crescent roll dough)
24 cocktail sausages or hotdogs
1 teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning (or replace with poppy seeds)

Instructions

Honey Mustard Sauce

Thoroughly mix mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and sriracha in a small bowl and set aside.

Pigs in a Blanket

Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205℃). Prepare the baking or cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
Combine the brushing sauce: butter, honey, onions, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, hot sauce, and eggs. Mix well.
Open the crescent roll cans, and on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough (or roll your homemade crescent dough). Separate the dough into 16 triangles (8 come in each can), or cut your homemade dough into 12 triangles with a knife. Cut each triangle lengthwise into two narrow triangles. Brush with the honey Dijon sauce. (You'll have some leftover triangles from the store-bought can.)
Place a cocktail sausage on the wide end of the dough triangle and roll it towards the other end to wrap securely.
Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until the cocktail sausages are used up.
Lightly brush pigs in the blanket with more sauce and sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning on top.
Place in the preheated oven and bake according to crescent roll directions or until golden brown (12-15 minutes).
Let it cool ever so slightly, and serve with honey mustard sauce.

Notes

Chilling the dough first makes it easier to work with.
Arrange your crescent dough-wrapped dogs far enough apart so they have enough room to rise.
This pig-in-a-blanket recipe delivers a gorgeous addition to a breakfast charcuterie board.
Line your baking pan with a sheet of parchment paper for easy cleanup.
