Reuben Pigs in a Blanket

A spin on a classic appetizer.
Course Appetizer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can crescent rolls
  • quartered hot dogs or lil' smokies
  • 1/4 cup thousand island or Russian dressing
  • 1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • sesame seeds or caraway seeds (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Open crescent rolls and slice each in half, yielding 16 pieces of dough.
  • Spread 1/2 tsp of dressing on the dough.
  • Place about 3/4 tsp of sauerkraut on the wide end of the dough. Then add about 3/4 tsp of shredded Swiss cheese on top of that. Place hot dog or lil' smokie on top on the wide end.
  • Beginning at the wide end, roll the hot dog up in the dough. The hot dog should peak out just a bit on both sides. Top each blanket with optional seeds. The best way to do this is to dip your fingers in water and immediately sprinkle with the seeds.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

A classic appetizer combined with one iconic sandwich, and you've got a fun appetizer that's perfect for any party.
