Ingredients
- 4 pieces Low-Sodium Hotdog Buns
- 4 pieces Low-Sodium Chicken or Turkey Hotdogs
- 1 cup Low-Sodium Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 tablespoons Yellow Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chopped Chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to medium heat.
Step 2
Lightly spread unsalted butter on the inside of each low-sodium hotdog bun. Set aside.
Step 3
Place the low-sodium hotdogs on the grill or pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully heated through and have a nice char, if desired.
Step 4
While the hotdogs are cooking, lightly toast the buttered sides of the hotdog buns on the grill or in a separate pan until golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Once the hotdogs and buns are ready, place each hotdog inside a toasted bun.
Step 6
Sprinkle a generous amount of low-sodium shredded cheddar cheese on top of each hotdog.
Step 7
Return the assembled hotdogs to the grill or place them under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Drizzle each hotdog with about 1/2 tablespoon of yellow mustard.
Step 9
Top with fresh chopped chives and ground black pepper for flavor. Add a pinch of paprika on top for a touch of color and extra flavor if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your low-sodium cheese hotdog.
