Ingredients
- 1 slice bread
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 slice cheese
- 1 beef frank (hot dog)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or butter on one side of the bread slice, which will help it crisp up during air frying.
- Add cheese: On the unbuttered side of the bread, place a slice of cheese evenly to cover the surface.
- Assemble with hot dog: Place the beef frank on top of the cheese and carefully roll the bread around it, hugging the hot dog closely.
- Secure the roll: Use two or three toothpicks to secure the ends of the sandwich to the hot dog, preventing it from unrolling during cooking.
- Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F if your model requires preheating; otherwise, set it to 375°F to begin cooking.
- Place sandwiches in air fryer: Gently place the rolled sandwiches inside the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Your air fryer can generally fit about 4 at a time without touching.
- Air fry: Cook at 375°F for 3-4 minutes. Check at 4 minutes and if not sufficiently crispy or the cheese is not melted, continue cooking in 1-minute increments until done.
- Serve: Carefully remove the hot dogs from the air fryer, remove toothpicks, and serve immediately with ketchup, mustard, or any favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and crisping.
- Use toothpicks to keep the bread securely wrapped around the hot dog to prevent it from unraveling while cooking.
- Adjust cooking time based on the size and brand of your air fryer for best results.
- Mayonnaise or butter on the bread helps achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
