Treat your ingredients with care...
- Bacon — For a crispier texture, bake the bacon in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of pan-frying it.
- Cheddar cheese — Opt for sharp cheddar cheese for a stronger flavor profile.
Tips & Tricks
- Experiment with different types of relish, such as spicy or dill, to customize the flavor.
- Add a touch of heat by sprinkling some crushed red pepper flakes on top of the hot dog.
- For a smoky twist, grill the hot dogs over charcoal instead of using a gas grill or grill pan.
- Substitute the beef hot dogs with chicken or turkey hot dogs for a healthier alternative.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, replace the hot dogs with grilled or roasted vegetables.
Serving advice
Serve the gourmet hot dogs with a side of crispy french fries and a refreshing coleslaw for a complete meal. Don't forget to provide extra napkins for a messy but delicious eating experience!
Presentation advice
Arrange the hot dogs on a platter, garnishing them with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color. Serve them alongside the side dishes for an appetizing and visually appealing presentation.
