Ingredients

• 8 pieces Frankfurters (hot dogs)
• 120 grams Cheddar cheese (cut into thin strips)
• 8 pieces Hot dog buns
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Mustard
• 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully make a lengthwise slit along the center of each frankfurter, ensuring not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

Place a strip of cheddar cheese into the slit of each frankfurter, pressing gently to fit it snugly.

Step 4

Arrange the cheese-stuffed frankfurters on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the frankfurters are heated through.

Step 5

Meanwhile, lightly brush the insides of the hot dog buns with melted butter, then toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise inside each toasted bun, followed by a drizzle of ketchup and mustard to your taste.

Step 7

Place one cheese-stuffed frankfurter into each bun, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the frankfurter.

Step 8

Return the assembled cheese frankfurters (in their buns) to the baking sheet and place them under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve immediately while hot.
