Ready for a twist on the classic hot dog? Skip the bun and try wrapping your hot dog in bacon with a slice of avocado tucked inside. With toppings like mayo, sesame seeds, and spring onions, this dish is both familiar and refreshingly different. One bite and you’ll never look at a classic hot dog the same way again!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 hot dogs
  • 4 slices of thick-cut bacon
  • 2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, and cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Hot Dogs (2 Minutes): Begin by slicing each hot dog in half lengthwise, ensuring you don’t cut all the way through. Create a pocket that will snugly fit the avocado wedge.
  2. Stuff with Avocado (2 Minutes): Season the avocado wedges with a pinch of salt and pepper. Carefully insert an avocado wedge into each hot dog pocket.
  3. Wrap with Bacon (2 Minutes): Take a bacon slice and carefully wrap it around the stuffed hot dog, making sure to cover as much surface area as possible. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  4. Cook the Hot Dogs (7-10 Minutes): Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon-wrapped hot dogs, seam side down. Cook, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy on all sides and the hot dogs are heated through. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
  5. Prepare the Topping (3 Minutes): While the hot dogs are cooking, mix the mayo with a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan until golden.
  6. Assemble and Serve (2 Minutes): Once cooked, remove the hot dogs from the skillet and place them on a serving dish. Drizzle with the seasoned mayo, sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds and finish with the chopped spring onions.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or chili powder to the mayo. And while these hot dogs are delicious on their own, they can be paired with a light salad or even some roasted veggies for a more rounded meal. Ensure the avocados are ripe yet still firm to make stuffing easier. Also, be cautious when wrapping the hot dogs with bacon to ensure even cooking.
