Zombie Jac's Fire Pigs

A new recipe of pigs in a blanket, that we made for New Years Eve

• Pre-heat oven to 375

§         1 Pkg mini-hot dogs

§         1 Pkg Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

§         12 fresh jalapeño peppers*

§         1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

§         3/4 cup cream cheese at room temp.

§         1 1/2 teaspoon cumin

§         1 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)

§         2 ounces shredded jack cheese

§         1/8 tsp Zombie Jac's Habanero Sauce (optional)

Take jalapeño peppers and wash, cut in half length wise.  De-rib and remove all the seeds.  Set peppers aside and prepare the cheese mixture.

Cheese mixture

Add cilantro, cream cheese, cumin, salt, shredded Jack and Habanero Sauce to a bowl and mix till smooth.  Set aside.

Take crescent rolls and  separate the  triangles and cut each triangle in half, use a pastry roller to thin each triangle out.  Lay  each triangle on parchment paper and apply the cheese mixture to side facing up.

Take one mini-dog and place in between the halves of the peppers. Make sure the peppers are completely dried prior.  Place the pepper encased dog on to the cheese coated crescent rolls at the long end and loosely roll to the tapered end.

Place in oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes at 375.

A nice dipping sauce for these is Sriracha Ranch.
