Prepare the ingredients

  • Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 375ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Place the pigs on the blanket on the baking sheet seam-side down, spacing them evenly apart.
  • For everything bagel pigs in a blanket, brush the tops and sides with a thin layer of the egg wash, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon everything bagel spice. For maple syrup pigs in a blanket, brush the tops and the sides with the remaining 2 ½ teaspoons maple syrup.
  • Bake until the dough is puffed and golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with more maple syrup for dipping the sweet-savory pigs in a blanket if desired.
