Ingredients
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 4 slices sliced sandwich bread
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup ketchup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mustard (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
In a separate pan, cook the hot dogs according to package instructions (boil, grill, or pan-fry) until heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3
Lightly flatten each slice of bread with your hands or a rolling pin to make it more pliable.
Step 4
Place one slice of cheddar cheese on each slice of bread. Lay a cooked hot dog diagonally across the cheese and bread.
Step 5
Roll the bread tightly around the hot dog, securing it with the cheese to hold the roll in place. Press gently to seal.
Step 6
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet. Place the rolled hot dogs seam-side down into the skillet.
Step 7
Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes, then rotate to toast all sides evenly. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 8
Once the bread is crisp and golden on all sides and the cheese is melted, remove the Swanky Frankies from the skillet.
Step 9
Serve immediately with ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping, if desired.
