Twin Cities Dogs

We love our hometown so much we created the Twin Cities Dog: Two hot dogs with double cheese (two kinds, of course), wrapped in Crescents and served on (yep, you guessed it) two sticks.

Prep: 10 min | Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 8 large hot dogs
• 1 (1 ounce) stick mozzarella string cheese, cut lengthwise into 8 strips
• 1 (1 ounce) stick Cheddar string cheese, cut lengthwise into 8 strips

• 1 egg, beaten
• 8 wooden corn dog or wooden craft sticks
• Ketchup and mustard, if desired

2. Slit hot dogs to within 1/2 inch of ends; insert 1 strip of mozzarella and 1 strip of Cheddar cheese into each slit.
3. Separate or cut dough into 4 rectangles (if using crescent rolls, press perforations to seal).
4. Place 2 hot dogs crosswise down center of each rectangle.
5. Cut 1 inch wide strips in dough on each side of hot dogs to within 1/4 inch of hot dogs.
6. Fold strips at an angle across hot dogs, alternating from side to side.
