French Onion Hot Dogs
The French Onion Hot Dogs is a culinary fusion that brings together the comfort of a classic hot dog with the rich, savory flavors of French onion soup. Imagine a perfectly grilled hot dog nestled in a lightly toasted bun, topped with caramelized onions simmered in beef broth, and finished with a generous sprinkle of melted Gruyère cheese.
Ingredients
For the French Onion Topping:
- 2 large onions thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup beef broth
For the Hot Dogs:
- 4 hot dog buns
- 4 beef or pork hot dogs
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese shredded
- Mustard or ketchup, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the French Onion Topping: In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sugar, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add the beef broth and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Hot Dogs: Preheat your grill or stovetop grilling pan over medium-high heat. Grill the hot dogs until fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally. While the hot dogs are grilling, open the buns and place them on the grill to lightly toast.
- Assemble and Serve: Place a grilled hot dog in each toasted bun. Generously top with the caramelized onion mixture. Sprinkle shredded Gruyère cheese on top. Optional: Add mustard or ketchup if desired. Place the assembled hot dogs back on the grill for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy your French Onion Hot Dogs!
