Cordon Bleu Hot Dogs are a delicious twist on the classic hot dog, featuring juicy sausages wrapped in ham, filled with melted Swiss cheese, and coated in a crispy breadcrumb crust. Perfectly fried or baked to golden perfection, these snacks deliver a delightful balance of crispy texture and gooey cheese, ideal for any occasion from parties to family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 quality beef or pork hot dogs
  • 4 slices thin ham
  • 4 strips Swiss cheese
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hot Dogs: Wrap each hot dog tightly with a slice of ham, ensuring it fully covers the hot dog to secure the cheese inside during cooking.
  2. Add the Cheese: Place a strip of Swiss cheese along the length of the ham-wrapped hot dog. Fold the ham slightly over the cheese to enclose it completely.
  3. Coat the Hot Dogs: Lightly dust each wrapped hot dog with flour, then dip into beaten eggs. Finally, roll thoroughly in breadcrumbs to form a crispy coating.
  4. Cook to Perfection: Fry the coated hot dogs in hot oil (medium-high heat) for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes for a lighter version.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove from oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess grease. Serve hot for the best melty and crunchy experience.

Notes

  • Use a cheese that melts well but stays contained, like Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar.
  • Ensure the ham fully covers edges to prevent cheese leakage.
  • Maintain oil at medium-high heat to avoid greasy hot dogs.
  • Allow hot dogs to rest briefly before serving so cheese sets but remains gooey.
  • For extra crunch, double coat by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps before cooking.
