Everything Bagel Pigs In A Blanket
Everything Bagel Pigs In A Blanket
Jason Goldstein of Chop Happy created this recipe as an homage to his childhood memories of going to the bagel store with his dad in New York City. It's a fun and easy appetizer for any party and can even be made a day beforehand (just refrigerate the pan of assembled pigs in blankets and pop them in the oven 30 minutes before party time).

Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 5 scallions, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- 5 hot dogs
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine the cream cheese, scallions, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp pepper, and lemon juice.
- Mix well with a spoon or fork.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle.
- Place one hot dog on the upper left corner of the puff pastry.
- Using the hot dog as a guide, cut a square out of the pastry that will fit around the hot dog.
- Watch the video above for guidance.
- Remove the hot dog to spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture over the small pastry square.
- Place the hot dog back on the square and wrap the pastry around the hot dog (like a blanket!), using the cream cheese as "glue" to hold it together.
- Cut the puff pastry wrapped hot dog into inch-long pieces and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, seam-side down.
- Repeat with the rest of the puff pastry.
- Brush the top of each "pig in a blanket" with egg wash.
- Combine the seasonings (or use a store-bought everything bagel seasoning blend) and sprinkle generously over each piece.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and your kitchen begins to smell like everything bagels.
