Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 8 oz thawed puff pastry sheet into a 12x12-inch square. Cut into 16 equal rectangles approximately 3x3 inches.
  2. Step 2: Place one mini hot dog (16 pieces) at the edge of each pastry rectangle. Roll up tightly, sealing the edge by pressing gently.
  3. Step 3: Place the wrapped hot dogs seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each with a little water and sprinkle evenly with 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 15-18 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp sour cream, 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives, 1 tsp honey, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Serve the warm pigs in a blanket with the cream cheese dip on the side for dipping.
