Ingredients

• 8 pieces hot dogs
• 1 can (8-ounce) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangle-shaped sections following the perforations.

Step 3

Place one hot dog on the wide end of each dough triangle.

Step 4

Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the hot dog and dough.

Step 5

Gently roll the dough around the hot dog, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the pointed end. Ensure the sides of the dough are sealed around the hot dog so the filling stays inside.

Step 6

Arrange the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the egg wash over each wrapped hot dog to help them turn golden brown in the oven. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Bake the hot dogs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the hot dogs from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite dips like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
