Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dogs:
- 4 hot dog buns
- 4 hot dogs
Cheese Mix:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 4 slices American cheese (or mozzarella)
Additional:
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- Optional toppings: ketchup, mustard, pickles, or jalapeños
Instructions
- Prep the Hot Dogs: Slice each hot dog bun open slightly wider without splitting them completely. Place a slice of American cheese inside each bun, followed by a hot dog. Top each with a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Assemble and Air Fry: Lightly butter the outsides of the buns. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled hot dogs in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Serve: Carefully remove and serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra crunch, sprinkle a little cheese on the outside of the bun before air frying.
- You can use veggie dogs or turkey dogs as a substitute.
