Ingredients

• 4 pieces hot dogs
• 4 pieces croissants
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
• 1 medium white onion, finely diced
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, score each hot dog with diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep to create a crosshatch pattern. This not only helps the hot dogs cook evenly but also enhances their visual appeal.

Step 3

Lightly brush the hot dogs with olive oil to prevent sticking, then place them on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are lightly charred and cooked through.

Step 4

While the hot dogs are grilling, slice the croissants in half lengthwise. Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of each croissant.

Step 5

Place the buttered croissant halves on the grill, cut side down, and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 6

Assemble the hot dogs: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each croissant. Add shredded lettuce, then place a grilled hot dog on top.

Step 7

Drizzle ketchup, mustard, and sweet pickle relish over the hot dog to taste. Sprinkle finely diced onion and shredded cheddar cheese on top as garnishes.

Step 8

Close the croissant with the top half and serve immediately while warm and toasty. Enjoy!
