Pigs in an Everything Blanket with Cream Cheese Dip
"Two finger food favorites collide as pigs in a blanket get aneverything bagel makeover. Rather than the traditional canned biscuit or croissant dough, the"blanket" of this playful appetizer is made with fresh pizza dough that is first boiled,brushed with egg wash, and rolled in an "everything" seasoning blend (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried mincedonion, dried minced garlic, and coarse salt) before being baked. Using a yeasted dough and this double cooking method is what gives these tailgate-ready bites their bagel personality. Serve them up with a tangy cream cheese dip for a party-perfect snack platter...."
