To make these miniature hot dogs, I started by opening a can of Pillsbury crescent rolls but not unrolling the dough.
I cut the roll of dough into eight equal pieces.
Then I unrolled the strips of dough.
I cut each strip of dough into three equal sized pieces.
Then I cut eight regular sized hot dogs into three pieces each.
I placed a hot dog piece on an end of a strip of dough and then rolled it up.
I repeated this process with the remaining 23 pieces of hot dog and strips of dough.
I placed the crescent wrapped hot dogs onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
I cracked an egg into a small bowl.
I beat the egg well.
Then I brushed the beaten egg on to the crescent wrapped hot dogs.
I combined some poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dehydrated minced onions and salt in a small bowl.
Then I sprinkled the seasoning mixture on top of the egg brushed crescent dough.
I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the pigs in a blanket until the crescent dough was golden brown on top.
I removed the pan from the oven and allowed the pigs in a blanket to cool on the pan for a few minutes.
After a few minutes I transferred the mini dogs to a plate for serving.
I served my pigs in a blanket with yellow mustard and ketchup for dipping.
