Ingredients
- 4 hot dog buns
- 4 hot dogs
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Optional: ketchup, mustard, or relish for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the grilled cheese hot dogs.
- Prepare Buns: Lightly butter the outside of each hot dog bun with the softened unsalted butter, ensuring an even coating for a crisp, golden finish.
- Assemble Hot Dogs: Gently open each buttered bun and place a slice of cheddar cheese inside. Add one hot dog on top of the cheese, then carefully press the bun closed around the filling to keep everything securely inside.
- Air Fry: Place the assembled hot dogs in the air fryer basket with the buttered side facing out. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve an evenly crispy, golden-brown exterior and perfectly melted cheese.
- Serve: Remove the hot dogs from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or relish for added flavor.
Notes
- Try different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or American for a twist on flavor and texture.
- For an extra crispy finish, sprinkle a little garlic powder on the buttered buns before air frying.
