Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 slices white bread
- 2 teaspoons softened butter
- 2 slices American cheese
- 2 hot dogs
Instructions
- Spread the butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place a piece of cheese on the non-buttered side of bread and put a hot dog in the center.
- Fold the bread and over the hot dog with the butter side facing out. Use 3 toothpicks straight through the bread and hot dog to hold the bread wrapped around the hot dog.
- Air fry at 380 degrees for 4-6 minutes, checking after 4 minutes until the bread is as browned as you’d like and the cheese has melted. Flip the bread over at the 4 minute mark to help both sides brown evenly.
Notes
I like soft white bread for these, but they also work well with top-sliced hot dog buns. Just butter the outside of the bun and cook as directed.
Serve these topped with hot dog chili, a bowl of tomato soup, or with your favorite hot dog toppings. I like to dip them in mustard for a quick snack.
I lay these on their sides in the air fryer basket with the toothpicks sort of poking through the holes of the air fryer basket.
