Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces hot dogs
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 6 sticks (or slices) cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup mustard
- 0.25 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface and separate it into individual triangles.
Place a hot dog along the base of each dough triangle. Lay a stick of cheddar cheese next to the hot dog.
Roll the dough snugly around the hot dog and cheese, starting from the base of the triangle and working toward the tip. Pinch the edges to seal completely, ensuring no cheese will escape while baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the surface of each wrapped hot dog for a golden, glossy finish.
Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds, if desired, for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
While the hot dogs are baking, prepare the condiments. Spoon ketchup, mustard, and mayo into three separate small zip-top bags. Cut a tiny hole in one corner of each bag to create a piping tip.
Once the Fountain Dogs are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the condiments decoratively over the top of each one using the piping bags. Get creative with your designs to mimic a 'fountain' effect!
Serve warm and enjoy your cheerful, cheesy Fountain Dogs with family and friends!
