Why stick to the usual when you can elevate your hotdog game? Instead of using a regular hotdog bun, why not reach for an all time favourite bakery item, croissant, as the base of your hotdog? Â
And what happens when you combine the buttery, flaky goodness of a croissant with a juicy, cheesy Frankfurter, smoky Black Forest Ham, caramalised onions and melty mozzarella?Â
You get this incredible Croissant Dog – a loaded, flavour-packed twist on a classic that is absolutely irresistable.Â
Ingredients
- 1 Croissant
- 1 Cheese Frankfurter
- 1 Slice of Black Forest Ham
- 1 Onion
- Sauce of your choice
Instructions
- Pan fry the Cheese Frankfurter for 6-8 minutesuntil heated through and lightly golden.
- On the same Pan, add little oil and cook onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft, golden and caramalised, set aside
- Place a slice of Black Forest Ham in the air fryer and cook until crisp. Once cooled slightly, break or chop into shards to use as crispy toppings
- Slice the croissant lengthways, keeping the hinge intact. Lightly toast cut side down for 1-2 minutes (optional but recommended for added structure)

- Air fry until cheese is melted and the croissant is lightly golden or place on a baking tray and bake for 6-8 minutes until the Cheese is melted and the croissant is golden but still soft
