Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 slice bread
  • 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
  • 1 slice cheese
  • 1 beef frank (hot dog)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add cheese: On the unbuttered side of the bread, place a slice of cheese evenly to cover the surface.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F if your model requires preheating; otherwise, set it to 375°F to begin cooking.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
