Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Frankfurters (hot dogs)
- 120 grams Cheddar cheese (cut into thin strips)
- 8 pieces Hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Using a sharp knife, carefully make a lengthwise slit along the center of each frankfurter, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
Place a strip of cheddar cheese into the slit of each frankfurter, pressing gently to fit it snugly.
Arrange the cheese-stuffed frankfurters on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the frankfurters are heated through.
Meanwhile, lightly brush the insides of the hot dog buns with melted butter, then toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise inside each toasted bun, followed by a drizzle of ketchup and mustard to your taste.
Place one cheese-stuffed frankfurter into each bun, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the frankfurter.
Return the assembled cheese frankfurters (in their buns) to the baking sheet and place them under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve immediately while hot.
