Description
A quick, crispy, and melty snack combining grilled cheese sandwiches with juicy hot dogs, perfectly cooked in the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs
- 8 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
- 8 slices cheddar or American cheese
- Butter, softened
- Optional: mustard or ketchup for serving
Instructions
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- On the unbuttered side, layer one slice of cheese, place a hot dog, add another slice of cheese.
- Top with a second bread slice, buttered side out.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place sandwiches in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning and melting.
Notes
- Add sliced jalapeños or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
- Use pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist.
- Drizzle barbecue sauce or sriracha before air frying for added zest.
- Press sandwiches gently when assembling to prevent cheese from leaking.
- Butter helps achieve a golden, crispy crust but can be omitted.
