I have had fancy hot dogs wrapped in phyllo dough. They were lovely. I made a dip from catsup, mustard, and relish. The kids at school loved these things.
You can put a half-piece of cheese on the crescent roll before wrapping the doggie. If you want to have cheap wrapped dogs, use rolled out refrigerator biscuits instead of crescent rolls.
Thanks for a great article, Robin. It's good to see the little piggies in blankets get the respect they deserve.
