Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave it ungreased.
-
Cut the American cheese slices into thin strips, creating enough pieces to stuff each wiener (about 3 strips per wiener).
-
Using a sharp knife, carefully slit each wiener lengthwise, cutting about halfway through the meat and stopping 1/2 inch from both ends.
-
Insert three cheese strips into each slit, pushing them gently into the wiener so they stay in place during baking.
-
Open the can of crescent dinner rolls and separate the dough into 8 individual triangles.
-
Place one stuffed wiener on the wide end of each dough triangle, cheese-side up if visible.
-
Roll the dough tightly around the wiener, starting from the wide end and tucking the ends under to seal.
-
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart, with the cheese seam facing up.
-
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth on the hot cheese.
