These savory delights are not just your ordinary hot dogs; they are enveloped in a mouthwatering blend of cheese, garlic, and herbs, then baked to perfection. This recipe is perfect for game day gatherings, backyard barbecues, or a cozy movie night at home.
Ingredients
Scale:
8 hot dogs (beef, turkey, or plant-based)
8 hot dog buns (preferably soft and fresh)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to create that delightful golden crust.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant spread.
In another bowl, mix the shredded cheese, cream cheese, and grated Parmesan until well combined and creamy.
Place each hot dog in its bun and gently open the top. Spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture into each bun over the hot dog.
Brush the garlic spread generously over each assembled hot dog.
Place the hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
