A simple and classic appetizer perfect for parties, game nights, or any gathering. These mini hot dogs wrapped in flaky dough are always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 (16 ounce) package mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or everything bagel seasoning for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. If using larger triangles, cut them in half lengthwise to create thinner strips.
  3. Place one mini hot dog or sausage at the wide end of a crescent roll triangle.
  4. Roll the dough around the hot dog, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the tip. Pinch the seam to seal.
  5. Place the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush the tops of the dough with the beaten egg wash.
  7. If desired, sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or everything bagel seasoning.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • For a cheesy twist, add a small slice of cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella) before rolling the dough around the hot dog.
  • You can assemble these ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from chilled.
  • These are best served warm, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or an air fryer.
