Preheat a grill, grill pan, or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet or on the grill pan.
Add the vegetarian hot dog sausages and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, place the remaining butter into the skillet and toast the hot dog buns until they are golden brown. Remove from heat.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the inside of each toasted bun.
Place each cooked hot dog sausage into a bun and sprinkle generously with grated cheddar cheese.
If using, place the hot dogs back onto the skillet or a baking tray and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Drizzle ketchup evenly over each cheesy hot dog.
Top with sliced red onions, sweet relish, and pickled jalapeños. Sprinkle with chives, salt, and pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy these delectable Vegetarian Cheesy Hot Dogs!
