Prepare the filling by combining the cheese, onions and savory. Mix

Prepare the sour cream pastry: Combine all ingredients and knead lightly.
Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 7 1/2" x 12 1/2" rectangle.
Cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch squares with a knife or pie fluter.

Place a teaspoon of the cheese-onion filling in the center. Place a
cocktail hot dog diagonally in the center of each square, on top of the
cheese filling. Wet diagonal corners with a drop of water and press
together.

Arrange blankets on a well greased baking sheet and brush them with the
beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes at 350° F, or until golden brown. Serve
hot.

Do-Ahead Note:
Prepare the sausage blankets several days in advance and freeze them in a
moisture-proof container. At party time, bake the blankets for 10 minutes
at 350°.
