Rueben Pigs in a Blanket

Here's one for your "party animals" wha wha wha!
(makes 24 pieces)

1/2 cup chilled*(contains natural probiotics*) sauerkraut, drained, and roughly chopped
3 T. dill* pickle relish
1 8 oz. tube crescent roll dough
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (about 2 oz.)
1/4-1/2 oz. thinly sliced corned beef* or pastrami*, cut into small strips*
24 beef cocktail franks
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Caraway seeds for topping
Parchment paper
Thousand Island dressing and spicy brown mustard for dipping

Preheat oven to 350, and line a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Combine the sauerkraut and relish in a small bowl; set aside. Unroll the crescent dough and pinch the seams together with your fingers. Cut the dough in half lengthwise, then slice each half crosswise into 12 strips. Spread about 1 t. of the sauerkraut-relish mixture on each strip of dough, leaving a 1/2" border on one short end. Sprinkle with cheese. Wrap a small strip of corned beef around each frank and place on each strip of dough. Roll the dough around the frank, pressing lightly to seal. Transfer to the baking sheet seam-side down; brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake until the dough is golden brown, about 15 mins. Serve with 1000 island and mustard.
