Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Mini hot dogs
- 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
Cut each triangle of dough in half lengthwise to create two smaller triangles, yielding 16 pieces in total.
Sprinkle a small pinch of shredded cheddar cheese onto the wider end of each triangle piece.
Place one mini hot dog on top of the cheese at the wide end of the triangle, then roll it up snugly toward the narrow point of the dough, enveloping the hot dog and cheese.
Place the rolled bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're spaced about 1 inch apart.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then stir in the garlic powder.
Brush the tops of each roll with the garlic butter mixture using a pastry brush.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the dog bites from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
