Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 slices bread sourdough or artisan preferred
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or butter for richer flavor
  • 1 slice cheese pepper jack or mozzarella
  • 4 pieces beef frank turkey or plant-based options work too
Optional Add-Ons
  • 4 slices bacon optional, to wrap around hot dog
  • cheese variations such as cheddar or gouda

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of a slice of your favorite bread. On the other side, place a generous slice of cheese.
  2. Next, take a beef frank and place it on the cheese side of the bread. Gently roll the bread around the hot dog, ensuring that the cheese encloses the frank snugly. Secure the ends with toothpicks.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Carefully place the rolled sandwiches in the air fryer basket. Cook them for 3-4 minutes, keeping an eye on them for that beautiful golden brown color.
  5. Once your Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Hot Dogs are crisp and the cheese is bubbly, remove them from the air fryer and take out the toothpicks. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
