Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dog buns
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the hot dogs to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully heated and lightly browned.
Place the hot dog buns on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise inside each bun.
Insert one cooked hot dog into each bun.
Top each hot dog with 1 teaspoon of ketchup, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each hot dog, ensuring it fully covers the hot dogs and resembles a 'snow cap.'
Lightly season the cheese with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Bake the hot dogs in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes.
Optionally, sprinkle a small amount of chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Snow Capped Hot Dogs!
