Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 hot dog (beef, pork, chicken, or plant-based)
- 1 slice sandwich bread or split hot dog bun
- 1 slice cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1 tbsp softened butter or mayonnaise
- optional toppings like ketchup, mustard, or relish
- toothpicks for securing
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Ingredients: Spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of the bread slice or bun. Place cheese on the unbuttered side, then lay the hot dog on top.
- Roll and Secure: Roll bread around the hot dog, butter side out, and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Air Fry: Place in the air fryer basket in a single layer, seam-side down. Air fry for 3–4 minutes until bread is golden and cheese is melted, turning halfway if desired for even browning.
- Serve: Remove toothpicks, let cool slightly, and serve with desired toppings.
Notes
- You can use shredded cheese instead of slices for more coverage.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle garlic powder or everything bagel seasoning on the buttered bread before cooking.
- Plant-based hot dogs work well for a vegetarian option.
