Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangular pieces along the perforations.
Cut each triangle into 3 smaller strips, making a total of 24 smaller pieces of dough.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese onto each dough strip, leaving space around the edges.
Place a mini hot dog at the wider end of each dough strip, then roll it up tightly, ensuring the cheese and dough wrap around the hot dog completely.
Place the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion while baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the wrapped hot dogs lightly with the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or additional cheese on top for extra flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dip.
