Cooking instruction summary:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Lightly flour the work surface and place the thawed puff pastry on the flour. (Most puff pastry sheets come folded in thirds, which can be very helpful as you want to cut it along the seams or, if there are no seams, cut the sheet crosswise into 3 equal strips.) Using a rolling pin, roll each piece of pastry until it is a little thinner, trying to maintain the squared off lines of the rectangle. Cut each piece of puff pastry into strips about 1 inch by 3 inches.3. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl.4. Place a wee hot dog or sausage on the narrow end of 1 puff pastry strip. Roll it up, pressing on the puff pastry so that it seals itself. Place the pig in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and puff pastry strips, arranging the pigs in blankets on the baking sheet at least 1 inch apart.5. Brush the top of the pigs in blankets with the egg wash and, if desired, sprinkle with the seeds or cheese. At this point it is helpful (but not necessary) to place the baking sheet in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes so that the pastry will puff up more when it bakes.6. Bake the pigs in blankets until they’re puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool briefly before serving with mustard and ketchup.
