Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 packages refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 28 ounces cocktail sausages
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a crispy, golden finish.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Cut each large triangle into smaller triangles suitable for wrapping the cocktail sausages.
- Add Filling: Place one cocktail sausage onto the wide end of each small dough triangle. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage for extra flavor.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll the dough around the sausage and cheese tightly to enclose the filling completely.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each wrapped sausage on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Brush with Mustard: Brush the top of each rolled dough piece with Dijon mustard, which adds a subtle tang and helps the poppy seeds stick.
- Add Poppy Seeds: Sprinkle poppy seeds evenly over the mustard-coated dough for a crunchy texture and appealing look.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute cocktail sausages with mini hot dogs or vegetarian sausages if preferred.
- For an extra cheesy treat, add more cheddar inside or sprinkle some on top before baking.
- To keep these warm during a party, place them in a low oven (about 200°F) until ready to serve.
- Make ahead by assembling and refrigerating before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baked chilled.
