Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Hot dogs
- 8 slices Bacon
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 can Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wrap each hot dog with a slice of bacon tightly. Place the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on a plate or board.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the bacon-wrapped hot dogs for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the bacon starts to crisp up. Remove from skillet and let them cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Lay a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each triangle of dough. Place a bacon-wrapped hot dog on the wide end of the triangle.
Roll the dough tightly around the hot dog, starting at the wide end and working towards the tip, ensuring the cheese is tucked in.
Transfer the assembled hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving room between each for expansion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the dough to give it a golden, glossy finish.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the brushed dough for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the hot dogs in a blanket from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
