A quick and easy recipe featuring hot dogs wrapped in flaky crescent rolls with a spicy mayo kick, perfect for a flavorful snack or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz / 226 g) crescent roll dough
  • 8 standard-sized hot dogs (about 6 inches / 15 cm each), beef or preferred variety
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
  • 12 tablespoons (1530 ml) sriracha sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) melted butter
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise with 1-2 tablespoons sriracha sauce. Adjust spice level as desired.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 strips lengthwise.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the spicy mayo evenly onto each dough strip.
  5. Place a hot dog at one end of each sauce-spread dough strip. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Roll the dough tightly around the hot dog, sealing the edge gently to prevent unrolling.
  7. Arrange the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  8. Brush each wrapped hot dog with melted butter.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  10. Optional: Sprinkle chopped green onions or sesame seeds on top after baking.
  11. Let cool for a couple of minutes on a wire rack, then serve warm.

Notes

Brush melted butter evenly for a flaky crust. Wrap dough tightly to prevent unrolling. Oven temperature should be 375°F to avoid over-browning. Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 1 hour before baking. Reheat leftovers in toaster or conventional oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
