Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 x 8-ounce cans crescent rolls
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 x 14-ounce package beef little smokies patted dry
  • 7 slices cheddar cheese each sliced into 6 pieces
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C, and line a pan with parchment paper.
  • Unroll the crescent rolls, and slice along the lines (cut each triangle in 3 pieces lengthwise to make 3 skinny triangles).
  • Brush each with Dijon mustard, place a piece of cheese and a beef frank at the wider end, then roll up the dough. Repeat with the rest and place on a sheet pan. Brush with melted butter, and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown (but not too dark).
  • Serve with ketchup and mustard.

Notes

We are using 16 crescent rolls that are cut into 48 pieces, but there are around 40 links of franks in the 14-ounce little smokies package. So in total, we are making 40 bites and each serving is 5 pieces (serves 8 in total).
