Ingredients
Scale
- 8 hot dogs (beef, turkey, or chicken)
- 8 slices block mozzarella or provolone cheese (about 8 ounces total)
- Mustard for eyes (yellow mustard recommended)
- Optional: cooking spray or oil for baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice your cheese into thin ribbons about 1/4 inch thick and 6 inches long.
- Wrap each hot dog with cheese ribbons at an angle, leaving a small gap at the top for the eyes. Overlap the ribbons slightly.
- Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on the edges.
- Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then use a toothpick to dot two small mustard eyes on the exposed hot dog at the top.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Use cold cheese for easier slicing. Don’t over-wrap the hot dogs; leave about half an inch exposed at the top for the eyes. Watch the oven closely as cheese can burn quickly. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth. Double the batch if feeding a crowd.
