Ingredients
- 8 bun length hot dogs
- 1 8 ct. can of crescent rolls
- 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 oz. monterey jack cheese.
- Long skewers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
- On a cutting board, roll out the crescent roll dough, and press the seams together.
- Use a pizza cutter to divide the crescent roll sheet into 8 strips.
- Fold each strip at half, and wind a crescent strip around each hot dog.
- Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes, until a light golden brown.
- Take the cheese, and slice in half, then in half again. You want wide enough sections to press a mini star cookie cutter into, and they need to be about 1/2 inch thick to go onto the skewer.
- Cut out star cheese shapes using a miniature star cookie cutter.
- Run a skewer through each hot dog, and add a cheese star to the top.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- The best way to make these spiral hot dogs is in the oven for even baking. Making these on a grill would be excessive heat for the dough and would likely burn.
- You can cut the dough ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. Then prepare when ready.
- Prepare the cheese stars ahead of time. You can even make extra and serve the stars on their own next to the hot dogs.
- Use a cooking thermometer to check hot dogs for readiness. They should be at an internal temperature, which should be 165°F.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
