Zesty Cocktail Franks in Blanket

Serves 12 (3 zesty bites per serving)

Bake time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound Kayem Minis Cocktail Franks

1 8 ounce flaky dough sheet (refrigerated)

1/4 cup honey Dijon mustard

1 egg, large

1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (can substitute poppy seeds if desired)

Cooking spray, canola or olive oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Prepare a large baking sheet with the cooking spray.
  2. Spread the flaky dough sheet flat on a cutting board. Cut the dough into 6 strips along the width, and 8 strips along the length for 48 pieces.
  3. Using a teaspoon, place a dollop of the honey Dijon mustard on top of each dough strip. Top mustard with a Kayem Mini Cocktail Frank, and roll up. Pinch the dough ends together and place on the baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to make an egg wash. With a pastry brush, brush each one with egg wash all around. Sprinkle tops with the sesame or poppy seeds.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown; serve immediately.

Grilling Tip

DO use tongs. DON'T pierce the casing. When you lose the juice, you lose the flavor!
