Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 slice bread

  • 2 teaspoons mayonnaise (or butter)

  • 1 slice cheese

  • 1 beef frank (hot dog)

Instructions

  1. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (or butter) on one side of the bread.

  2. Flip the bread over and place the slice of cheese on the other side.

  3. Place the beef frank on top of the cheese and gently roll the bread around it, wrapping it snugly.

  4. Secure the roll with 2–3 toothpicks to keep it from opening during cooking.

  5. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) if required.

  6. Place the wrapped hot dog in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one if making multiple.

  7. Air fry for 3–4 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted. Add 1-minute increments if needed.

  8. Remove carefully, take out toothpicks, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use sturdy sandwich bread so it doesn’t tear when rolling.

  • American, cheddar, or mozzarella cheese all melt beautifully.

  • Don’t overcrowd the basket—air circulation is key for crispiness.

  • Serve with ketchup, mustard, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
