Croissant Hot Dogs in a Blanket

A buttery, flaky twist on the classic pigs in a blanket. Super easy and satisfying, ready in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients

Makes 4 croissant dogs

• 4 croissant dough pieces (got mine from Whole Foods)

  

• 4 hot dogs

• 2 slices American cheese, halved (optional)

• 1–2 Tbsp melted butter (optional)

• Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

   • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prep the Croissants

   • Slice each croissant dough piece lengthwise like a hot dog bun, but don’t cut all the way through—leave the bottom intact.

3. Add the Hot Dogs

   • Place one hot dog into each croissant “bun.”

     

4. Bake

   • Arrange on a lined baking sheet.

   • Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the croissant is puffed and golden brown.

5. Optional Butter Glaze

   • For extra shine and richness, brush with melted butter 1–2 minutes before removing from the oven.

6. Finish & Serve

   • Once out of the oven, tuck a half-slice of American cheese into each hot croissant dog so it melts.

   • Brush with more butter and sprinkle with everything seasoning, if using.

   • Serve warm and enjoy!
