What You Need to Make Firework Hot Dogs
- Hot Dogs – You can use any of your favorite hot dogs. I prefer bun length and turkey hot dogs are my favorite!
- Pillsbury Crescent Roll- It is premade and all you have to do is, roll it out, pinch together and cut into strips.
- Cheese– You can use your favorite cheese just make sure it’s hard enough to cut into the star shapes (which is why I love cheddar cheese)
- Skewers – Longer skewers work best
Helpful Tips
- Bake these right before you are ready to serve.
- You can put these into a large aluminum pan with a chafing fuel can under to keep these warm just know it may melt the cheese.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheated in the oven.
Firework Hot Dogs
Equipment
- Long Skewers
- Mini Star Cookie Cutter
Ingredients
- 8 bun length hot dogs
- 1 can Crescent rolls 8 count
- 4 oz. Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 oz. Monterey jack cheese
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 and Enjoy!
