Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Frankfurters (hot dogs)
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 piece Egg (beaten)
- 50 grams Flour
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying, if preferred over baking)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or heat oil in a large frying pan if frying.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slit each frankfurter lengthwise down the middle, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and chives to create the filling.
Spoon the cheese filling into the slit of each frankfurter, pressing it gently to seal it as much as possible.
Prepare a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Carefully coat each filled frankfurter in flour, ensuring the entire surface is covered. Next, dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
For baking: Place the coated frankfurters on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crisp.
For frying: Heat the oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry each frankfurter for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately, paired with your favorite dipping sauces or a side of salad for a balanced meal.
