Ingredients

For the Pigs in a Blanket

1 package puff pastry, or one tube of crescent roll dough
24 cocktail wieners, or use 8 hot dogs cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 large egg yolk, whisked

For the Dipping Sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
½ cup plain yogurt, or sour cream
⅓ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into small triangles, the size of the cocktail wieners or 2-inch hot dog pieces.
Roll each cocktail wiener (or hot dog piece) into a triangle of the dough. Start rolling at the largest side of the triangle and end at the smallest side.
Place the wrapped wieners on a baking sheet, leaving an inch of space in between. Brush them with the whisked egg yolk, and add a sprinkle of sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, make the dip by mixing the sriracha, mayonnaise, yogurt, and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir well to incorporate, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve.
