Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 4 pieces slices of sandwich bread
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ketchup or mustard (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of sandwich bread so it becomes thin and pliable.
Sprinkle a line of shredded cheddar cheese across one edge of each bread slice, then place a hot dog on top of the cheese.
Roll the bread tightly around the hot dog, pressing slightly to seal the edge.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each bread roll to create a golden toasted finish during cooking.
Place the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down in the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning frequently to ensure the bread is evenly browned and crispy.
Once fully toasted and the cheese is melted, remove the Toasty Dogs from the skillet.
Serve immediately with ketchup or mustard on the side for dipping, if desired.
