Ingredients
  

1 can (8 ounces) crescent roll dough

8 beef hot dogs

4 slices of mozzarella cheese, cut into strips

1 egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Cheese and Hot Dogs: Take the beef hot dogs and cut each one in half lengthwise. Next, take the mozzarella cheese strips and insert them into the slit of each hot dog, pushing them in gently to secure them.

      Roll the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into the individual triangles. For a thicker wrap, you can pinch two triangles together to form a rectangle.

        Wrap the Hot Dogs: Place a mozzarella-stuffed hot dog at the wide end of the triangle. Roll the dough around the hot dog all the way to the point, ensuring the dough wraps snugly around the entire length.

          Brush with Egg Wash: If using, brush the tops of the wrapped hot dogs with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

            Bake: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and puffed.

              Cool & Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. These can be enjoyed alone or with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard or ketchup.
