Ingredients

• 4 pieces hot dogs
• 4 pieces slices of sandwich bread
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0 ketchup or mustard (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of sandwich bread so it becomes thin and pliable.

Step 3

Sprinkle a line of shredded cheddar cheese across one edge of each bread slice, then place a hot dog on top of the cheese.

Step 4

Roll the bread tightly around the hot dog, pressing slightly to seal the edge.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each bread roll to create a golden toasted finish during cooking.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once fully toasted and the cheese is melted, remove the Toasty Dogs from the skillet.

Step 8

Serve immediately with ketchup or mustard on the side for dipping, if desired.
