Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 slice bread
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 slice cheese
- 1 beef frank (hot dog)
- Prepare the bread: Take a single slice of bread and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side. This helps enhance flavor and creates a crisp texture.
- Add the cheese: Place a slice of cheese on the opposite side of the bread from where the mayonnaise was spread.
- Assemble the hot dog: Place a beef frank directly on top of the cheese, then roll the slice of bread around the hot dog, hugging it tightly to enclose it within the bread and cheese.
- Secure the sandwich: Use two or three toothpicks to pin the edges of the bread securely around the hot dog so it won’t unravel during cooking.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Preheat if your model requires it; otherwise, just set the temperature.
- Arrange in the air fryer: Gently place the rolled sandwiches into the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Most air fryers can fit 2 to 4 at a time depending on their size.
- Cook: Air fry the hot dogs at 375°F for 3 to 4 minutes. If they are not fully cooked or the bread is not crispy enough, continue cooking in 1-minute increments until done.
- Serve: Carefully remove the hot dogs from the air fryer, remove toothpicks, and serve immediately. They pair well with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- To prevent the bread from soaking in too much mayonnaise or becoming soggy, use a thin, even layer.
- Adjust cooking time based on your specific air fryer model for best results.
- Be careful when removing toothpicks before serving to avoid injury.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for multiple servings.
- Feel free to substitute the beef frank with a vegetarian or vegan hot dog to suit dietary preferences.
