Ingredients

• 8 pieces hot dogs
• 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
• 16 pieces green olives (pitted)
• 1 package refrigerated crescent dough
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Slice each hot dog lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.

Step 3

Cut the sharp cheddar cheese into 8 thin rectangular strips that will fit snugly inside the hot dog slits.

Step 4

Insert 2 pitted green olives into the pocket of each hot dog, followed by a strip of cheddar cheese, making sure the fillings are snug and secure.

Step 5

Open the package of refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles following the perforations.

Step 6

Wrap each stuffed hot dog with a crescent dough triangle, starting with the wider end and rolling towards the tip, ensuring the filling remains enclosed. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal any gaps if necessary.

Step 7

Place the wrapped franks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 8

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter, then stir in the garlic powder.

Step 9

Brush the garlic butter mixture over the crescent-wrapped franks to enhance flavor and help them achieve a golden brown finish.

Step 10

Bake in the oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the Olive Cheese Stuffed Franks cool for 2–3 minutes.

Step 12

If desired, garnish with chopped parsley for added color and flavor before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm as a fun appetizer or a snack!
